Mysterious Odor from Russian Spacecraft Baffles ISS Crew
TL;DR Summary
A Russian Progress spacecraft's cargo delivery to the International Space Station was delayed due to a strange odor detected by astronauts. The smell, which NASA suggests was likely outgassing from materials inside the spacecraft, dissipated quickly, allowing cargo transfer operations to proceed as planned. The incident posed no danger to the ISS or its crew, and air quality remained normal. The Progress spacecraft will remain docked for several months before being filled with trash and burned up in Earth's atmosphere.
