A coolant leak on a Russian supply ship docked to the International Space Station (ISS) has caused the launch of a replacement Soyuz capsule to be postponed until March. The leak was discovered on the Soyuz MS-22 crew ferry ship, which was docked at the Russian Rassvet module, and is believed to have been caused by a presumed micrometeoroid impact in December. The delay of the Soyuz capsule launch will not affect the operations of the ISS, as there are currently three crew members on board.
