He showed the Soyuz MS-09 spacecraft's habitation module, where an air leak had been detected in late August. "As you can see, we stay here feely without out spacesuits, no one is plugging the hole with their finger, as media had claimed.

Having found the precise location of the leak of two millimeters in diameter, the cosmonauts applied one coat of a specialized certified two-component sealing compound over it and the second and third coats the next day. "The habitation module is fully leak-proof now and we can work," Prokopyev said at the end of his video message posted on his VKontakte account.[/i]
