“As for the emergency situation that happened to the Soyuz MS-22 spacecraft: we managed to get high-quality images with the help of our American colleagues and clearly see the violation of the outer skin, we can even show these images to the general public,” he said.
The presence of the hole gives reason to believe that it was the external influence that led to the violation of the thermal control system, the head of the corporation emphasized.
On December 21, Borisov stated that the radiator of the Soyuz MS-22, according to the preliminary conclusion of the commission, could be damaged by a micrometeorite or space debris.
The ship with the damaged radiator will return to Earth in March 2023.
