On March 28, the Soyuz capsule from Russia that has been experiencing leaks is scheduled to leave the space station.
The Soyuz space capsule, which has been damaged and lost all of its coolant due to a leak, will make its return to Earth on March 28 without any crew onboard.
At 5:57 a.m. EDT (0957 GMT), the Soyuz MS-22 spacecraft with a leak will detach from the International Space Station, but it will not have any astronauts on board, which is an unusual occurrence for Russia’s Roscosmos space program. The event can be watched live online and through NASA TV, which starts at 5:30 a.m. EDT (0930 GMT). Assuming that everything proceeds as planned, the Soyuz will touch down on the steppes of Kazakhstan at 7:45 a.m. EDT (1145 GMT). However, the landing itself will not be broadcast live by NASA.
On March 28, an afflicted Soyuz space capsule that experienced a significant coolant leak back in December, will depart from its space station berth and commence its journey back to Earth without its intended three-person crew. This event can be viewed live online.
In September 2022, Roscosmos launched the MS-22 Soyuz spacecraft to transport three astronauts, including two Russian cosmonauts, Sergey Prokopyev and Dmitri Petelin, and NASA astronaut Frank Rubio, to the International Space Station for a six-month mission. However, in December, halfway through the mission, the Soyuz capsule encountered an uncontrollable leak on December 14, which released its valuable coolant into space. Despite studying a similar leak in February on another uncrewed Progress cargo ship, Roscosmos engineers have attributed the leak to a micrometeoroid impact.
