A Russia n spacecraft delivering about six months’ worth of food and supplies to the International Space Station leaked a strange odor and droplets upon docking at the station — raising alarm among astronauts.

“After opening the Progress spacecraft’s hatch, the Roscosmos cosmonauts noticed an unexpected odor and observed small droplets, prompting the crew to close the Poisk hatch to the rest of the Russian segment,” NASA said in an update.
