Russia says damaged Soyuz spacecraft 'must' return to Earth without crew January 11, 2023 at 12:25AM

The Russian space agency said Wednesday that its damaged Soyuz spacecraft needs to return to Earth from the International Space Station without a crew, confirming it was hit by a small meteorite strike. "'Soyuz MS-22' must descend to Earth without a crew," Roscosmos said in a statement after damage to the space capsule resulted in a coolant leak last month.
