RIA News published a material in which, referring to an unnamed source, reports on the preliminary results of studying photographs of a fragment of the skin of the Soyuz MS-09 spacecraft. This is the area of anti-meteorite protection where the hole was previously found. The discovery, as we know, caused a wide resonance - to the extent that some representatives of the space industry announced “the possible fact of drilling a hole by one of the crew members of the ISS due to psychological problems.”
Source in the rocket and space industry to which it refers RIA News, reports that, according to preliminary estimates of the study of the hole, "no evidence of the impact of the drill was found." This is called the results of the preliminary inspection.
From the material:
The photographs taken by the astronauts were scanned; no trace of drilling was found on the ship’s micrometeorite defense.
At the moment, this statement was not commented by the representatives of Roscosmos.
Recall that the Russian cosmonauts carried out work in open space, during which they cut off a fragment of the very micrometeorite defense with damages.
The picture was published on the page of the Russian cosmonaut Sergei Prokopyev
The fragment, as originally reported, will be transferred to a special laboratory of the FSB. It is after this that the final answer to the questions about the origin of the hole in the lining of the “Union” will be received. The return of the mission from the ISS to Earth is scheduled for December 20.
