A Russian spacecraft delivering supplies to the International Space Station is out of control and will fall back to Earth according to Russia's space agency. The ship was took off on Tuesday from Kazakhstan , unfortunately contact was lost within moments. Russia's space agency says Progress M-27M is now orbiting in an "uncontrolled spin". It will not reach the ISS and it is more likely that it will drop like a stone back to earth, probably breaking up on re-entrye. The craft carried on to a higher orbit after contact was lost. Progress was to deliver food, water, fuel, oxygen and clothing to the crew of six people on the space station that orbits about 250 miles above Earth. The loss was estimated at £32.9 million, according to a Roscosmos spokesman.
