New accident. Another Russian spacecraft has failed: What is known

Subscribe to not miss the latest and most intrusive news from the world of science! For the second time, in 2 months, the Russian spacecraft, which is national with the ISS, began to flow. This time, Russian dispatchers on Earth were noticed on Saturday, February 11, depressurization in the Progress-82 freight spacecraft. NASA reported that there was a depressurization of the ship's cooling system.

The US Space Agency reported that the reason for the leakage of cooling fluid from the cooling system is unknown. Despite the accident, the temperature and pressure at the station remains within normal limits, and the ISS crew does not threaten anything. The RF's cargo ship "Progress 82" struck from the ISS back in late October last year and was supposed to go to Earth on February 17.

It is not yet known whether this will happen whether the Russian dispatchers will leave the ship on the ISS until the causes of the accident. It is worth noting that all Russian cargo ships in this class after fulfilling their mission, return to the ground and burn in the atmosphere. Therefore, the land will not be able to determine the causes of the accident.

The most interesting thing is that the breakdown on the Russian spacecraft happened the same day when another Russian shipment of the Russians-"Progress-83" faced with the ISS. The leakage of cooling fluid on the Russian spacecraft happened for the second time in 2 months. A similar incident occurred with the Soyuz-MS 22 ship in mid-December last year. This ship delivered three astronauts in September 2022 and had to return them to the ground in March this year.

The investigation of the causes of the accident revealed that the ship's corps was damaged by the mike-erometeorite stroke, and now the "Soyuz-MS 22" is not suitable for transportation of astronauts home. It can only be used in the event of an emergency at the ISS. Focus has already written in detail about how an accident with a Russian spacecraft occurred and how further events developed. NASA even decided in the case of unforeseen circumstances to send their astronaut on the SpaceX ship.

Roscosmos are currently preparing for another spacecraft to send the ISS-Soyuz-MS 23. He will fly on February 20, but there will be no crew on his board except for useful goods. This ship will be able to return two Russians and one American to Earth only in September. That is, the initial mission of these astronauts in orbit will last half a year. There is no information yet on whether the date of launching a new spacecraft will be adjusted by investigating the accident on the Progress Ship.

As the focus has already wrote, another test of the strength of the module of the future space station, which should replace the ISS, has recently undergone. Focus also wrote that SpaceX had a test of her Starship missile, which should first fly into space this year. This rocket is designed for flights for both the month and Mars. As for Mars, as focus has already wrote, scientists have told what dangers are waiting for future conquerors of the red planet.
