Poisk - Russian Mini-Research Module

The propulsion compartment of the Poisk module undocked at 4:16 p.m. PST Monday and was deorbited four hours later for a destructive reentry in the Earth's atmosphere. Its departure opens up a docking port for Russian vehicles on Poisk, which will first be used when Suraev and Williams relocate their Soyuz spacecraft in January.
