(ANSA) - ROME, DECEMBER 15 - A leak of liquid, possibly refrigerant, has been discovered from a Soyuz capsule docked at the International Space Station.
The discovery took place at 1:45 this night shortly before Russian cosmonauts Sergey Prokopyev and Dmitri Petelin began an already planned extravehicular activity.
The causes and severity of the problem are not yet known.
There is no danger to the crew, Rob Navias, a NASA spokesman, said via NasaTv, and efforts will be made in the next few hours to troubleshoot Soyuz MS-22, which is the lifeboat and return to Earth for 3 of the 7 current crew members.
