An uncrewed Russian supply ship docked at the International Space Station has lost coolant pressure, the Russian space corporation and NASA reported Saturday, saying the incident doesn't pose any danger to the station's crew.
Roscosmos said the hatch between the station and the Progress MS-21 had been locked so the loss of pressure didn't affect the orbiting outpost.
The initial statement from Roscosmos left it unclear whether the entire cargo ship or just some of its systems lost pressure, but Sergei Krikalev, head of Roscosmos' crewed programs, later clarified that there was depressurization of the craft's coolant loop. "Officials are monitoring all International Space Station systems and are not tracking any other issues," NASA said. "The crew, which was informed of the cooling loop leak, is in no danger and continuing with normal space station operations."It noted that the cargo ship had already been loaded with waste prior to its scheduled disposal. The craft is set to be undocked from the station and deorbit to burn in the atmosphere on Feb. 18.
Roscosmos said that the incident didn't affect the docking of the new cargo ship and "will have no impact on the future station program."
