Watch video Damaged Soyuz capsule reaches Earth from International Space Station

Space agencies got a big success on Tuesday. The ‘trouble’ that faced the International Space Station (ISS) since last year is over. Russia’s Soyuz spacecraft attached to the ISS has returned to Earth. Last year, coolant leakage was detected in this capsule. Because of this, Soyuz was not able to return to Earth. The astronauts who had gone to ISS aboard it also got stuck there. Now they are returning through different missions.

news agency reuters Report According to, the Soyuz capsule has been returned after about 3 months. He returned to Earth without a crew, which took two hours. The Soyuz landed in the Kazakh steppe a few hundred kilometers from the Baikonur Cosmodrome on Tuesday afternoon. This is Russia’s main site for space launch programs. The landing of the capsule was telecast live by Russian space agency Roscosmos.

The investigation into why the coolant leaked from the Soyuz is still ongoing. Initially its reason was said to be the effect of micrometeorites. It was said that a small meteorite might have hit the spacecraft. Later it was found that there is a small hole in the Soyuz capsule. After this it was decided that all the astronauts who had reached the ISS aboard the Soyuz would be brought back from other missions. Soyuz will be landed on Earth without a crew.

The Russian Space Agency and the American Space Agency NASA are investigating why the coolant leaked in the Soyuz. Last year, when a coolant leak was detected in the Soyuz, two Russian astronauts were getting ready for their spacewalk. Both the passengers had to cancel the spacewalk.
