According to Roskosmos, experts carefully examined the surface of the ship and did not reveal any damage to the Soyuz MS-23 radiator, which is now located in Baikonur.

“The Council of Chief Designers recommended the state commission to appoint the launch of the Soyuz MS-23 spacecraft by the Soyuz-2.1a launch vehicle from Baikonur on February 24 at 03:34 Moscow time,” the corporation said in a statement.

On February 18, the transport cargo vehicle Progress MS-21, which leaked the coolant of the thermal control system on February 11, undocked from the Russian segment of the ISS.

The cargo ship will be deorbited and scuttled on 19 February.
