Progress 48 has undocked from the iss.

It will stay in orbit at a safe distance from the iss, for a month. After it's done it's month
long mission, it will re-enter.

Here's the lastest orbital data

So time to look at the iss, and see another satellite nearby :) So get out your binoculars.

Not sure how close it will stay to the iss.
