Russian Cosmonauts Investigate Coolant Leak in ISS's Nauka Module

Russian cosmonauts Oleg Artemyev and Sergey Revin conducted a spacewalk to investigate a coolant leak in the Nauka module's radiator system on the ISS.
The coolant leak, first detected in September, has been causing a slow but steady loss of coolant from the Nauka module's thermal control system.
The cosmonauts inspected the radiator panels for any visible signs of leakage and collected samples of the coolant residue for further analysis.

On October 25, 2023, Russian cosmonauts Oleg Artemyev and Sergey Revin embarked on a spacewalk to investigate a coolant leak in the Nauka module's radiator system on the International Space Station (ISS). The spacewalk, which lasted for approximately seven hours, was broadcasted live by NASA and Roscosmos, the Russian space agency. The leak, which was first detected in September, has been causing a slow but steady loss of coolant from the Nauka module's thermal control system. The coolant, a mixture of water and propylene glycol, is crucial for maintaining the module's temperature. During the spacewalk, the cosmonauts inspected the radiator panels for any visible signs of leakage and collected samples of the coolant residue for further analysis. The spacewalkers also installed handrails and other equipment on the Nauka module to facilitate future spacewalks. The results of the inspection and analysis will be crucial in determining the next steps to address the coolant leak. The leak has not posed any immediate danger to the crew or the station, but it is essential to fix it to ensure the long-term health and functionality of the Nauka module.
