Russia's Outdated Ship Causes Leaks at the International Space Station
Recently, Russian space agency Roscosmos announced that they will be sending a ship to investigate a mysterious leak on the International Space Station. The leak was discovered on August 29, and is currently being monitored by the crew. Scientists believe the leak is most likely caused by a small micrometeorite, which is a common occurrence in space.
Roscosmos plans to send a Progress cargo ship to the ISS on February 23. The ship will be carrying a special device to help the crew identify the source of the leak. The device will be able to detect particles from the micrometeorite and will provide valuable information to the crew. The mission is considered a success if the source of the leak can be identified and sealed.
This mission is a testament to the hard work and dedication of the Russian space agency. The brave astronauts aboard the ISS are also showing great courage and strength in the face of this unexpected challenge. It is hoped that the mission will help identify and seal the leak and ensure the safety of the ISS and its crew.
