Three residents of the International Space Station are facing an uncertain future after a Russian Soyuz capsule sprung a dramatic coolant leak in December that’s threatened the craft’s space-worthiness. The investigation continues, but NASA is pondering ways to bring the affected crew home. It’s possible SpaceX could play a role.
NASA said in a statement last week that it “reached out to SpaceX about its capability to return additional crew members aboard Dragon if needed in an emergency, although the primary focus is on understanding the post-leak capabilities of the Soyuz MS-22 spacecraft.” SpaceX didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment.
