“It was in the household compartment; it had already burned out a long time ago when the ship was converging. We took all samples. What happened, everything is clear to us, but we won’t tell you anything, ”RIA Novosti quoted Rogozin as saying.

He explained this decision.

“There must be some secret with us,” Rogozin said.

In October 2018, Rogozin said that the hole in the Soyuz MS-09 transport manned spacecraft appeared as a result of deliberate exposure.

He noted that an internal audit at the RSC Energia enterprise that manufactured the TPK excluded the production defect version.

In December 2018, Russian astronauts explored a hole outside the ship.
