Disaster! Russia's 2nd Soyuz leaked at ISS, NO RESCUE. SpaceX Dragon is the only way Another Russian spacecraft docked to the space station is leaking We are witnessing a spacefaring power losing its ability to get to space. For the second time in two months, a Russian spacecraft docked with the International Space Station (ISS) has sprung a leak. How will this affect safety on the ISS? Due to meteorites or the Russian space industry itself being too old? Let’s expose everything about this in today’s episode of Alpha Tech: A Russian Progress supply ship successfully docked with the International Space Station early Saturday but in an unlikely, presumed coincidence, another Progress, docked at a different port, suffered a sudden loss of coolant similar to an incident that disabled a Soyuz crew ship in December. It was not immediately known if the Progress MS-21/82S spacecraft suffered a malfunction of some sort or if it might have been hit by space debris or a micrometeoroid, like the small particle that ruptured a coolant line on the Soyuz MS-22/68S crew ferry ship two months ago. The Russian space agency Roscosmos revealed a “depressurization” event via the agency’s Telegram account, saying the space station’s seven-member crew was in no danger. But the post did not specify which system had been affected. NASA clarified that later in a brief conversation with astronaut Frank Rubio aboard the station. “Hey Frank, just want to make sure we put it out in the open in terms of status for 82P,” mission control called. “You guys are probably already aware we had that TCS (thermal control system) coolant leak out to space this morning. The leak has stopped but at this point, we believe that it’s completely leaked out. “So not concerned from having an active leak on the Progress right now. From our perspective, the system is in a good, stable configuration. The Russians configured 82P to a dormant low-power mount, just keeping essential equipment powered.” The Progress was launched last October and is now loaded with trash and no-longer-needed equipment. It is scheduled to undock from the lab complex next Friday. Although the initial Roscosmos statement was vague about the depressurization event, Dmitry Strugovets, a former head of space agency Roscosmos' press service, later clarified it was a coolant leak. "All of the coolant has leaked out," he said via Telegram. Seriously, this is the second Russian spacecraft to suffer a cooling system leak in less than two months at the space station. Disaster!
