Chris van den Berg has reports on the comings and goings of the Progress
and Soyuz vehicles at http://www.support.nl/muukrant/mirmain.html
I was under the impression that sometimes they return material on the
reentry module portion of the Progress and get rid of trash and garbage on
the non-reentry module portion of the Progress. Yet it seems I always
remember seeing reprorts on destructive reentry over the Western Pacific.
