MOSCOW – The head of the US space agency said that he was certain that the cause would be determined by a mysterious hole appeared on the International Space Station, which his Russian counterpart said was deliberately drilled.
NASA administrator Jim Bridenstine also said Tuesday that collaboration with Russia's Roscosmos remains important, despite recent comments by agency head Dmitry Rogozin that Russia would not accept a "role of second plan "in a project led by NASA to build an outpost near the moon.
The hole in a Russian Soyuz capsule moored to the ISS caused a brief loss of atmospheric pressure in August before being repaired.
Bridenstine met Rogozin in Moscow on Tuesday and both attend the Thursday launch of a spare capsule at the space station.
