Summary
Progress MS-04 (65P) launched on a Russian Federal Space Agency (ROSCOSMOS) Soyuz U from 1/5, Baikonur Cosmodrome, Republic of Kazakhstan on December 1, 2016. The mission failed: The launch proceeded normally until telemetry was lost at T+382 seconds, about two minutes into the Blok I stage burn. At this time, the Progress apparently separated from the third stage, almost six minutes earlier than nominal. A high altitude explosion was reported over the skies of Tuva, and debris from the third stage and Progress impacted in a mountainous area approximately 2200 miles (3500 km) downrange from Baikonur. It was Russian Federal Space Agency (ROSCOSMOS)'s 261st launch, 9th this year and humanity's 5,604th orbital launch attempt. It was the 713th Soyuz U flight and the 2nd this year. The payload was bound for low Earth orbit (LEO). The spacecraft was Progress MS-04 (Progress MS-04 (No.434)).
