ROSCOSMOS - Russian Vehicles patch.
Feb 11, 2023
Specialists of the Mission Control Center near Moscow recorded a depressurization in the Progress MS-21 (82P) cargo ship, which is scheduled to undock from the International Space Station (ISS) on February 18, using telemetric information.

The passage hatch to the ship is closed, thus the Progress MS-21 is isolated from the total volume of the station. All equipment scheduled for removal is already in the spacecraft. The reasons for the depressurization are being investigated.
The temperature regime and pressure on board the ISS are normal, nothing threatens the life and health of the crew, their health is good.

This incident did not have effect on today's docking with the ISS of the Progress MS-22 cargo spacecraft and will not affect the station's future flight program.
