A backup radiator circuit on the Nauka module of the Russian-controlled portion of the ISS has sprung a leak. The crew is not in any danger, according to Roscosmos.
The Russian space agency, Roscosmos, is searching for answers after one of its modules on the International Space Station sprang a coolant leak, adding to the list of mechanical issues the space agency has grappled with in low-Earth orbit over the past year. Roscosmos said Monday in a notice posted to the messaging site Telegram that the coolant leak affected a radiator circuit on the Nauka module, which is located on the Russian-controlled segment of the ISS.
That vehicle had transported NASA astronaut Frank Rubio and two Russian cosmonauts — Sergey Prokopyev and Dmitri Petelin — to the ISS in September 2022. An investigation by Russian officials that was reviewed by NASA later determined that a small object likely struck the spacecraft, causing the leak.
