Russia Launches Unmanned Spacecraft to Rescue 'Stranded' NASA Astronaut, Cosmonauts


Russia launched an unmanned spacecraft Friday in an effort to rescue a “stranded” NASA astronaut and two Russian Cosmonauts whose craft had been damaged by a micrometeroid while at the International Space Station in December

The crew found themselves stranded after the micrometeoroid punctured a hole in the craft, causing a coolant leak that rendered the temperature of the cabin of the Soyuz MS-22 unsafe for travel. Now, the rescue mission will retrieve them on this weekend, when the replacement craft is set to dock at the orbiting lab.
