Russia claims Progress leak caused by an "external impact"



Space Coast FL (SPX) Feb 22, 2023
Roscosmos on Tuesday blamed an "external impact," not a manufacturing defect, for a coolant leak from an unmanned Russian supply ship docked at the International Space Station on February 11. High-resolution pictures of the Progress MS-21 spacecraft were taken by cosmonauts using the ISS' 17-meter-long Canadarm2 robotic arm, which revealed a 12-millimeter hole where the coolant fluid poured out of the cooling system on February 11th. On February 11, a Russian unmanned Progress MS-22/83P car ... read more
