SpaceX Dragon to ISS with astronauts while Soyuz is empty, Dragon to rescue Soyuz...
This is the International Space Station or ISS for short.
It has been continuously occupied since November 2000. The station is divided into two sections: the Russian Orbital Segment is operated by Russia, while the United States Orbital Segment is run by the United States as well as by the other states.
Countries have cooperated very well with each other over the past two decades. But the ISS status is recently experiencing a lot of turmoil due to the Soyuz leak two times in nearly two months.
More stress will come this week as in just a short period of time, SpaceX Dragon will dock to ISS with astronauts while Soyuz is empty to rescue the MS-22 crew.
Explain all of this in today's episode of Alpha Tech:
First, in an important news, one leaky Russia space station ships burned up over the Pacific Ocean last week.
The Progress MS-21 cargo ship undocked from space-facing Poisk module on the Russian segment of the space station at 9:26 p.m. EST Friday (0226 GMT Saturday), keeping a departure date that has been set for months. But the routine undocking took special significance after the Progress MS-21 cargo ship suddenly leaked coolant last Saturday, Feb. 11, soon after the docking of a fresh Progress resupply spacecraft to a different port on the space station.
The timing of the leak soon after the docking of another Progress supply ship was presumably a coincidence, but it was the second time in less than two months that a Russian spacecraft suddenly lost its coolant fluid while docked at the international research complex. Russia’s Soyuz MS-22 crew ferry ship leaked coolant in December, an incident that Russian space agency officials previously blamed on a likely high-speed impact from a micrometeoroid, or a tiny fragment of rock from deep space.
Russian engineers continue analyzing the cause of the coolant leak on the unpiloted Progress MS-21 cargo ship, and officials have not said whether both leaks were caused by the same failure, or if both spaceships suffered untimely hits by space junk or micrometeoroids. The coolant on both vehicles is used to dissipate heat generated by internal spacecraft electronics, and maintain comfortable operating temperatures for computers, cargo, and people inside.
The 58-foot-long (17.6-meter) Canadian-built robotic arm inspected the damaged thermal control system radiator Progress MS-21 spacecraft’s rear instrumentation compartment earlier last week, according to Roscosmos, Russia’s space agency. Russian space officials decided to move ahead with the planned undocking and re-entry of the Progress MS-21 spacecraft, which is carrying trash and other unnecessary space station equipment for disposal.
