The main thermal control circuit of the Russian Nauka module is functioning normally, Roscosmos said.
Roscosmos reported that in the module The science On the Russian segment of the ISS, a coolant leak occurred from the external radiator circuit. TASS wrote this on Monday, October 9.
It is noted that this is a backup circuit, the main one seems to be working normally.
“In the module The science On the Russian segment of the ISS, a coolant leak occurred from the external (backup) radiator circuit. The module’s main thermal control circuit is functioning normally and providing comfortable conditions in the module’s living area,” Roscosmos said.
It was clarified that the coolant leak occurred from the backup radiator circuit, which was delivered to the station in 2012.
The department’s main operational group for analyzing the current situation continues to work.
It is known that in December 2022, the Soyuz MS-22 spacecraft docked at the ISS experienced a leak from the external radiator circuit. The Russian Federation then claimed that the radiator of the ship’s external thermal control system had been damaged by a meteoroid. Later, on February 11, a coolant leak occurred from the thermal control system of the Progress MS-21 cargo ship docked at the ISS.
We remind you that on July 25, a power outage at the NASA building in Houston led to a communication disruption with the ISS. The lack of communication with the station forced the agency to use Russian systems.
