The temperature in the Soyuz capsule docked at the International Space Station has risen but the crew is not in danger, the Russian space agency said on December 16. Roskosmos reported that the temperature inside the module had increased but did not exceed 30 degrees Celsius. Roskosmos and NASA said on December 15 that a coolant leak had been detected in the spacecraft. Roskosmos said the leak may have been caused by a tiny meteorite. The leak raised questions about whether the spacecraft will be able to return to Earth with a crew of three in March as planned. To read the original story from RFE/RL's Russian Service, click here.
