Moscow, Jan 15 (Ians) Russia will launch the unmanned Soyuz Ms-23 spacecraft to bring home three astronauts from the International Space Station (Iss) as their Soyuz Ms-22 spaceship has an emergency situation, Russian space authorities have said.
Russian cosmonauts Sergei Prokopyev and Dmitry Petelin together with NASA astronaut Francisco Rubio will return to Earth aboard the Soyuz Ms-23 in the next weeks, which is supposed to dock to the Iss on February 22, Xinhua news agency reported, citing a statement by Russia’s space agency Roscosmos.
Last month, astronauts found damage to the outer skin of the instrument-assembly compartment of the Soyuz Ms-22 docked to the Iss, which caused a pressure drop in the cooling system.
The systems of the Iss and the Soyuz Ms-22 are operating normally, but Roscosmos and its partner space agencies have taken measures to ensure the safe return of the crew to Earth in the event of...

Nine years ago, the director Alejandro González Iñárritu spent eight months in the Canadian wilderness with Leonardo DiCaprio and Tom Hardy. It was minus 40 degrees, the sort of cold that cuts to the bone; the sort of cold that makes it hard to open your eyes, as DiCaprio once described it. The Revenant, for which Iñárritu recieved one of the five Oscars to his name, is regularly mentioned in the same breath as Apocalypse Now when discussing the Toughest Film Shoots Ever. Compared to Bardo, False Chronicles of a Handful of Truths, Iñárritu’s latest film, it was a walk in the park.
What could be harder to make than The Revenant, a film that saw its star chow down on raw bison liver and multiple crew members exit due to conditions one source described as a “living hell”? “Bardo was 100 times tougher,” says Iñárritu over Zoom from his cosily...
