Russia's space agency said on Monday (Oct 9) that its multipurpose Nauka module attached to the International Space Station suffered a leak of a backup cooling system used to regulate onboard temperatures for astronauts. The crew and the station "are not in danger" as astronauts assess the leak, Roscosmos,
The Nauka Multipurpose Laboratory Module is seen docked to the International Space Station next to next to Soyuz MS-18 spacecraft on Jul 29, 2021. Russia's space agency said on Monday that its multipurpose Nauka module attached to the International Space Station suffered a leak of a backup cooling system used to regulate onboard temperatures for astronauts.
It's the latest such leak the Russians have had to deal with in space recently, following one that sprang on a Soyuz crew capsule late last year, forcing the spacecraft's replacement and a delayed trip home for its crew. A Russian Progress cargo spacecraft leaked coolant months later.
Coolant that leaked from Russia's Soyuz-22 capsule in December appeared on live video feeds as flaky, snow-like particles spewing into space from the craft's radiator. A NASA engineering team believes a piece of space debris or a tiny meteorite was to blame, following a monthslong investigation with the Russians.
The station, a football field-sized orbital science laboratory some 400km above Earth, has continuously housed international crews of astronauts for more than two decades.
