ISS: Russia plans to send a rescue vessel for the crew

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.
