A planned spacewalk has been called off after the discovery of a coolant leak on the Soyuz spacecraft docked at the International Space Station
A planned spacewalk by the Russian space agency Roscosmos has been called off following the discovery of a coolant leak coming from the Soyuz MS-22 spacecraft, which is currently docked to the International Space Station.
"The crew reported that the warning device of the ship's diagnostic system went off, indicating a pressure drop in the cooling system," according to Roscosmos. "A visual inspection confirmed the leak, after which it was decided to interrupt the planned extravehicular activities by the crew members of the ISS Russian Segment Sergey Prokopiev and Dmitry Petelin."
Russian managers looked over the data and consulted "with both NASA managers and engineers" and outside experts, Navias said."Plans for an additional inspection of the Soyuz exterior using the station's Canadarm2 robotic arm are underway," according to a NASA update.
