Russia discovered a breach on ISS is intentional

Russian investigators believe the small hole that caused oxygen leaks on the International Space Station (ISS) in August was due to deliberate action.

Speaking on TV on October 2, the head of the Russian space agency Roskosmos, Dmitry Rogozin, said the first investigation committee published the report, which excluded technical errors leading to a breach. this.

According to the investigation committee, the hole was caused by a drill. Previously, this statement was also published.

According to Rogozin, the second investigation committee is conducting verification and will draw the following conclusion.

The small hole in the body of the Soyuz spacecraft, made by Russia, connected to ISS was discovered in August and was quickly sealed. Many assumptions were made after the flaw was discovered, causing reduced oxygen pressure and leakage on the ISS. Design engineers believe this is a consequence of the collision with a tiny meteorite.

The Soyuz board sent travelers to ISS last June to carry out a six-month mission and is now connected to the ISS.

The US Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) has confirmed this incident, and said it was a negligible pressure of negligible pressure and the crew tried to fix it.

There are six travelers working on ISS, including three NASA astronauts, an astronaut from the European Aeronautics Agency and two astronauts from Roscosmos.
