The leak was first detected around7:45 p.m.onDec. 14, 2022, when pressure sensors in the spacecraft's cooling loop showed low readings. At the time of the leak, Roscosmos cosmonauts were preparing toconduct a spacewalk。The spacewalk was postponed, so no crew members exited the space station or were exposed to the leaking coolant.
NASA provided an additional inspection of the Soyuz exterior using the station'sCanadarm2 robotic armonDec. 18。The agency and Roscosmos specialists have continued to closely monitor Soyuz spacecraft systems. NASA and Roscosmos are concluding their work together to develop a course of action following the analysis.
The Soyuz MS-22 spacecraft carried NASA astronautFrank Rubioand Roscosmos cosmonauts Sergey Prokopyev and Dmitri Petelin into space after launching from the Baikonur Cosmodrome inKazakhstanonSept. 21。
