An International Space Station-bound cargo craft is spinning out of control in Earth orbit following an afternoon launch from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan. The Russian Progress M-27M spacecraft launched at 1:09 p.m. local time Tuesday (3:09 a.m. EDT, 7:09 UTC) and reached a preliminary orbit shortly thereafter. But the situation soured when flight controllers in Moscow did not receive crucial telemetry from the vehicleβs systems.
