MOSCOW. Sept 19 (Interfax-AVN) - The Soyuz MS-09 manned spacecraft docked to the International Space Station (ISS), on which an air leak was detected on August 30, has been cleared to continue its mission as part of the ISS, Vladimir Solovyov, first deputy general designer for flight operations and tests of spacecraft and rocket systems at the Energia Rocket and Space Corporation, said on Wednesday.
"The pressure leak on the station has been eliminated, and routine pressure has been restored. The Soyuz MS-09 has been cleared to continue its mission as part of the Russian segment of the ISS and perform its function as a crew return vehicle," Energia quoted Solovyov as saying.
