Odd smell coming from Russian spacecraft docked at space station [yahoo.com]
A Russian Progress spacecraft delivering nearly three tons of supplies to the International Space Station [foxweather.com] also brought an unwanted smell when cosmonauts opened the hatch.
[....] "After opening the Progress spacecraft's hatch, the Roscosmos cosmonauts noticed an unexpected odor and observed small droplets, prompting the crew to close the Poisk hatch to the rest of the Russian segment," NASA said Sunday. [x.com]
NASA did not describe the odor. Russian space news outlet Russianspaceweb.com [russianspaceweb.com] reports that the cosmonaut crew described it as "toxic" and closed the hatch immediately.
The space agency said the space station's air scrubbers and contaminant sensors monitored the ISS atmosphere for about 24 hours before flight controllers reported normal air quality on Sunday.
Hopefully an air freshener was included for hanging in zero gee.
