Russian cosmonauts go on 7-hour-spacewalk for sample of strange hole on the Soyuz
FirstpostNews reports examined the possibility that US astronauts drilled the hole to return a sick colleague home. Using knives and shears, a pair of Russian spacewalkers Tuesday cut samples of material around a mysterious hole in a Soyuz spacecraft docked on the International Space Station that a Moscow official suggested could have been deliberate sabotage. Roscosmos space agency said the aim was to discover whether the “small but dangerous” hole had been made on Earth or in space. He had said earlier that Russia did not exclude “deliberate interference in space.” Russian media reported the investigation was probing the possibility US astronauts deliberately drilled the hole to get a sick colleague sent back home. Rogozin called the spacewalk “unprecedented in its complexity” on Twitter and Roscosmos said it would “enter the history of space exploration.” The Soyuz spacecraft is used to ferry astronauts to and from the ISS.
