For the second time in two months, a Russian spacecraft lost critical coolant.
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.
"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 coolant leak out to space this morning. The leak has stopped but at this point, we believe that it's completely leaked out. The plan going forward, NASA told Rubio, is to"keep the vehicle as is, so there's no additional troubleshooting or any actions that will be done in the short term. We're still targeting undocking at the end of next week. But of course, plans might change as we gather more information on the issue."
