Russia says it has not given up on trying to save an unmanned spacecraft that’s spinning out of control and falling towards Earth.<br /><br /> The cargo ship was carrying fuel, water, food and supplies intended for the International Space Station.<br /><br /> Russia’s space agency and NASA say the six ISS crew members have sufficient supplies for several months and are in no danger.<br /><br /> But flight controllers have been unable to receive data from the spacecraft which had entered the wrong orbit.<br /><br /> The cargo ship blasted off from Baikonur, Kazakhstan on Tuesday and was scheduled to dock at the space station six hours later.<br /><br /> Russian controllers hoped to seize a backup opportunity on Thursday but failed to make contact.<br /><br /> Unless it be manoeuvred, the ship will re-enter the Earth’s atmosphere and burn up – becoming the second ISS supply ship to be lost in the past six months.
