Moscow: NASA has launched a replacement shuttle to return the 3 astronauts stuck in the space probe due to a malfunction in the spacecraft. America’s NASA and Russia’s Roscosmos have signed a memorandum of understanding to conduct research on the International Space Station. Accordingly, American astronaut Francisco Rubio, Russian cosmonauts Sergey Prokopyev and Dmitry Petelin were sent to the International Space Station by Russia’s Soyuz MS-22 spacecraft last year. In this situation, on December 14, the spacecraft’s coolant leak was suddenly discovered.
After the leak, the astronauts’ spacewalk was canceled. A meteorite impact may have caused the damage, NASA said. In this situation, NASA has sent a replacement spacecraft called Soyuz MS-23 to bring the 3 soldiers stuck in space back to Earth. NASA has launched an unmanned Soyuz MS-23 spacecraft from the Baikonur Cosmodrome rocket launch pad in Kazakhstan. US scientists say it will reach the International Space Station on Sunday.
