An uncrewed Russian supply ship docked at the International Space Station has leaked coolant, the Russian space corporation and NASA reported Saturday, saying the incident doesn&t pose any danger to the station&s crew, AP reported.Roscosmos said the hatch between the station and the Progress MS-21 had been locked so the incident didn&t affect the orbiting outpost.&The temperature and pressure on board the station are within norms and there is no danger to health and safety of the crew,& it said in a statement.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.NASA said its specialists are assisting their Russian counterparts in the troubleshooting of the coolant leak.Roscosmos has launched a probe into a possible cause of the cooling loop leak, and Krikalev said that experts will closely look at materials and technologies used in spacecraft manufacturing as part of the probe.Roscosmos noted that before the leak 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.
