MOSCOW — Russia’s space corporation Roscosmos said Monday that a coolant leak from a Russian space capsule attached to the International Space Station doesn’t require evacuation of its crew, but the agency kept open the possibility of launching a replacement capsule, if needed. Roscosmos said a panel of experts would determine later this month whether the Soyuz MS-22 capsule could be safely used by the crew for its planned return to Earth or if it should be discarded and replaced.The leak from the Soyuz MS-22 was spotted last week as a pair of Russian cosmonauts were about to venture outside the station on a planned spacewalk.
Roscosmos said the leak might have been caused by a micrometeorite or a piece of space junk striking one of the capsule’s external radiators. The corporation said Monday that the leak caused the temperature in the crew section of the capsule to rise to 30 degrees Celsius . The temperature in the equipment section initially soared to 40 degrees Celsius but dropped to 30 degrees Celsius after ground experts switched some of the capsule’s systems, Roscosmos said.
