The Roscosmos State Corporation continues to investigate the cause of the depressurization of the thermal control system of the Progress MS-21 cargo ship (82P), which occurred on February 11 at the International Space Station.
Today, using the remote manipulator (Canadarm2) of the American segment of the station, it is planned to inspect a possible damage site on the outer surface of the spacecraft.

Now the American side is bringing the manipulator to the Progress MS-21, after which a video camera will be used to film and photograph the ship's instrument-aggregate compartment (Progress service module). The received materials (images, film) will be handed over to Russian specialists on Earth for further analysis.
