Russia launches rescue ship after spacecraft leak strands astronaut crew

"Russia launched an unmanned rescue ship Friday for a NASA astronaut and two Russian cosmonauts who were stranded in space after their spacecraft sprang a leak while parked at the International Space Station.

NASA astronaut Frank Rubio and Russian cosmonauts Sergey Prokopyev and Dmitri Petelin were supposed to return to Earth in March with their Russian MS-22 Soyuz spacecraft but faced an extended stay after the spacecraft sprang a leak in December 2022.

The new, empty replacement capsule, Soyuz MS-23, will rescue the trio who have been aboard the International Space Station. The Soyuz is estimated to arrive at the orbiting lab on Sunday.

The rescue plan was unveiled last month when NASA and Russian space officials said the Soyuz capsule would be sent to the International Space Station to ferry the trio back."
