CTOnews.com, February 12 (Xinhua) on Saturday, local time, the Russian space agency said it had lost pressure in the cabin of a cargo spacecraft docking with the International Space Station. NASA later revealed more details.

"the cause of coolant loss from the Progress 82 spacecraft is being investigated." the door between Progress 82 and the space station is open, and the temperature and pressure on the space station are still normal. The crew said there was a coolant leak, but there was no danger and continued normal operation of the space station. "

Progress 82 arrived at the International Space Station on October 28 last year and was scheduled to leave on February 17, but it is not clear whether the Russian space agency will follow this schedule.

However, the series of cargo ships often fall into the earth's atmosphere and burn after completing supply missions, which means that the Russian space agency is unable to investigate the cause of the leak on the ground. The accident was discovered because the second Progress spacecraft docked with the International Space Station on the same day.

It is worth mentioning that the Russian Soyuz MS-22 spacecraft also had a coolant leak in December last year, which the Russian space agency later blamed on a micrometeoroid impact.

Russia believes that unless there is an emergency at the International Space Station, the spacecraft is not suitable to transport astronauts back. As a result, the agency will launch another Soyuz spacecraft later this month to bring Petrin and Prokopiev and NASA astronaut Frank Rubio back to Earth. For more details on the incident, please refer to CTOnews.com 's previous report.

Russian and American astronauts enter the International Space Station aboard the Soyuz MS-22 spacecraft.

"Russian Aerospace Group: Soyuz leakage or caused by micrometeorites, does not affect the operation of the International Space Station"

"Russian Soyuz MS-22 will return to Earth in unmanned mode."
