[b]Progress coolant leak being investigated[/b] Engineers at Russia's Mission Control Center outside Moscow recorded a depressurization in the coolant loop for the Progress MS-21 cargo ship, which is docked to the space-facing Poisk module at the International Space Station station. Progress MS-21 was scheduled to undock from the station on Friday (Feb. 17), filled with trash to be deorbited over the Pacific Ocean. The reason for the loss of coolant in the Progress MS-21 spacecraft is being investigated. According to NASA, the hatches between the Progress and the station are open, and temperatures and pressures aboard the station are all normal. The crew, which was informed of the coolant loop leak, is in no danger and is continuing with normal space station operations. NASA specialists are assisting their Russian counterparts in the troubleshooting of the coolant leak. Officials are monitoring all International Space Station systems and are not tracking any other issues.
