Given the urgent need for this capsule, two top NASA officials traveled from the U.S. to observe the launch in person.Article contentOfficials had determined it was too risky to bring NASA’s Frank Rubio and Russia’s Sergey Prokopyev and Dmitri Petelin back in their damaged Soyuz next month as originally planned. With no coolant, the cabin temperature would spike during the trip back to Earth, potentially damaging computers and other equipment, and exposing the suited-up crew to excessive heat.
The damaged Soyuz will return to Earth with no one aboard by the end of March, so engineers can examine it. The damaged supply ship was filled with trash and cut loose over the weekend, burning up in the atmosphere as originally planned.
