Russian Spacecraft's Mystery Odor Resolved, Cargo Unpacked at ISS
Cosmonauts aboard the International Space Station successfully unpacked a Russian Progress spacecraft after initially closing its hatch due to an unexpected odor and small droplets detected upon docking. The spacecraft, which launched from Kazakhstan, carried nearly three tons of supplies. NASA reported that the odor dissipated quickly after air scrubbing procedures, and cargo transfer operations are now on schedule. The Progress vehicle will remain docked for six months before being used to dispose of trash.
