Progress MS-04 (Russian: Прогресс МC-04), identified by NASA as Progress 65 or 65P, was a Progress cargo spacecraft launched Roscosmos to resupply the International Space Station (ISS).

Launch

Progress MS-4 was launched on December 1, 2016 from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan. It used the second to last Soyuz-U rocket.[1]

Telemetry was lost 382 seconds into the flight,[2][3] the most likely cause of the accident is a failure on the third stage.[4] Presumably, the vehicle failed to orbit and was destroyed upon reentry.[5]

Roskosmos has confirmed the loss of "Progress". Its fragments fell on the territory of Tuva, most of them burned in the atmosphere. The loss of the spacecraft occurred at an altitude of 190 km on a deserted mountainous terrain in Tuva.[6]

Docking

Progress MS-4 was scheduled to dock with the aft docking port of the Zvezda module.

Cargo

The Progress MS-4 spacecraft was carrying about 2450 kg of cargo and supplies to the International Space Station. The spacecraft was delivering food, fuel and supplies, including 705 kg of propellant, 50 kg of oxygen and air, 420 kg of water.

Spaceship was insured by LLC IC "VTB Insurance" in the amount of about 2.5 billion rubles.[7]
