A damaged Soyuz capsule has forced NASA and its Russian counterpart to consider solutions in case the spacestation needs to be evacuated in an emergency.

Russia’s Soyuz spacecraft suffered damage at the International Space Station in December when a leak caused it to lose a large amount of coolant.

Related It’s now been decided that if there’s a call to evacuate the ISS before the replacement Soyuz arrives, Rubio will enter SpaceX’s Crew Dragon spacecraft, which brought the four Crew-5 astronauts to the ISS in October, while Prokopyev and Petelin will enter the damaged Soyuz spacecraft. But ISS program manager Joel Montalbano said at a recent press conference that taking Rubio out of the Soyuz would remove one third of the human heat load, easing the stress on the spacecraft.
