Drag with the high atmosphere slowed it and it reentered on March 23, 2001 resulting in its breakup and destruction. To make sure this happened in a controlled manner safely over unpopulated areas a number of burns of the engines of the Progress M1-5 that had docked earlier adjusted the orbit so that reentry would be over the southern Pacific Ocean.
