Soyuz-U | Progress MS-04 (65P)
Status: Failure | Launched: Dec 01, 2016 14:51 UTC
Failure reason: 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.

Program
- International Space Station — The International Space Station programme is tied together by a complex set of legal, political and financial agreements between the sixteen nations involved in the project, governing ownership of the various components, rights to crewing and utilization, and responsibilities for crew rotation and resupply of the International Space Station. It was conceived in 1984 by President Ronald Reagan, during the Space Station Freedom project as it was originally called. (Wikipedia)
