A coolant leak from a Russian space capsule attached to the International Space Station was likely caused by a micrometeorite strike, a Russian space official said Thursday.
Russia's space corporation Roscosmos and NASA both have said that the incident hasn't posed any danger to the station's crew.
The coolant leak prompted a pair of Russian cosmonauts to abort a planned spacewalk earlier in the day. Krikalev added, however, that the station's future operations will depend on the assessment of the capsule's condition. "Decisions about the future flight program will be made on the basis of that analysis," he said.
