MOSCOW, February 17. /TASS/. Cosmonauts on board the ISS will manually turn the Progress MS-21 cargo spacecraft after undocking to take photos of the presumably damaged spot on the outer surface, the Roscosmos corporation said on Friday.
"After separation from the Poisk module the cosmonauts will turn the spacecraft using remote control and photograph the damage spot," Roscosmos said.
On February 11, Progress MS-21, prepared for undocking from the ISS originally scheduled for February 18, developed a leak of the coolant from the thermal control system. At the moment, the spacecraft is isolated from the station. A probe is on into what caused the depressurization.
