, a Russian spacecraft attached to the International Space Station. After weeks of scrambling, the Russian government has finally shared plans on how it plans to carry out a rescue mission to the ISS to help bring its stranded astronauts home., Moscow will now launch a new spacecraft to the International Space Station next month. This spacecraft will bring home three crew members currently stuck in orbit on the ISS due to their original spacecraft being hit by a meteoroid.
The meteoroid caused a leak in the Soyuz spacecraft’s coolant lines, which could have caused tons of damage and put the astronauts at risk if they tried to return home in it. The move to send a rescue mission to the ISS is to help ensure there are enough seats to bring home all of the astronauts aboard the station in the event of an emergency.
The new spacecraft, the Soyuz MS-23, was originally set to take another three astronauts up to the ISS to replace the current occupants. However, it will not head up to the station without a crew to pull off the rescue mission – though it is important to note that nobody on the station has actually been in danger at the moment. The older Soyuz MS-22 will return home.
