Russia was evaluating the airworthiness of its spacecraft docked at the International Space Station (ISS) on Thursday, following an impressive leak that occurred last week, and was considering a rescue mission for stranded crew members.
The leak of coolant from the Soyuz MS-22 spacecraft into space began on December 14. On images broadcast by NASA, we might clearly see a jet of particles escaping from the rear of the vehicle. The damage is being assessed, said Sergei Krikaliov, director of human spaceflight at the Russian space agency Roscosmos, during a press briefing organized by the American space agency on Thursday.
