Russia’s spacecraft malfunctioned for an unknown reason and started leaking. For this reason, the team in it was left alone with the danger of being stranded in space. NASA began contacting SpaceX to rescue the crew of two cosmonauts and an astronaut. So, what did NASA say about the subject? Let’s take a look at the details of the news together.
NASA started meeting with SpaceX!
The team is in danger of being stranded after the leak in the Russian spacecraft, which includes two cosmonauts and an astronaut who went on a spacewalk on December 15. Under normal circumstances, the team would be on the way back in March. But at the moment, the vehicle to be used on the way back is stuck because it is faulty.
Investigations have begun for the leak, the cause of which is not yet clear. But the US Space and Aviation Administration NASA and the Russian Space Agency, Roscosmos could not find a solution to this situation. It was thought that Roscosmos could save the stranded crew by sending a drone into space. In addition, Roscosmos continues to work to find the cause of the leak.
But according to the latest news, NASA has started meeting with Elon Musk’s remote company SpaceX. NASA can bring the stranded crew by sending Crew Dragon from SpaceX’s spacecraft. There is also one of SpaceX’s Crew Dragons in space at the moment. But there isn’t enough room on this spacecraft to get the crew stranded.
NASA’s Sandra Jones told Reuters that they have asked SpaceX to bring back additional crews, but that this is not the focus of the issue right now. Roscosmos President Yury Borisov stated that he has no fear of safety for the crew stranded in space.
