Budrigannews.com – After a leak was discovered just prior to a spacewalk last week, Russia’s state space corporation said on Sunday that a docked Soyuz spacecraft will be inspected by a robotic arm on the International Space Station that is 17 meters long and made in Canada.
Roscosmos reported that damage had been done to the outer skin of an instrument assembly compartment in the Soyuz MS-22 capsule after the spacewalk was called off on December 15. A coolant leak was mentioned.
According to Roscosmos, cosmonauts Sergey Prokopyev, Dmitry Petelin, and Anna Kikina were taking advantage of a day of rest on the Space Station before attending the World Cup final.
Roskosmos stated in a statement, “The Soyuz MS-22 spacecraft will be inspected with cameras of the SSRMS, the Space Station Remote Manipulator System.” On Monday, the results will be broadcast to Earth.”
“The temperature in the Soyuz MS-22 manned spacecraft was reduced due to the actions of specialists from the Mission Control Center near Moscow, remaining within the specified limits,” it said. The SSRMS, also known as Canadarm2, is a 17-meter-long arm that moves supplies and grapples vehicles to the space station.
The Soyuz MS-23 will be launched from Baikonur, Kazakhstan, and Russia’s space agency stated that the launch could be accelerated if necessary.
