(l-r) Prokopyev, Gerst and Auñón-Chancellor Soyuz programme (Manned missions)

Soyuz MS-09 is a Soyuz spaceflight which launched on June 6, 2018.^[1] It transported three members of the Expedition 56 crew to the International Space Station. MS-09 is the 138th flight of a Soyuz spacecraft. The crew consists of a Russian commander, and an American and a German flight engineer.

During the night of August 29, 2018^[2], a small air leak was noticed by ground control. The initial hypothesis was that a micro-meteoroid impact resulted in a 2mm hole in the Orbital Module of MS-09. Russian crew members used Kapton tape to temporarily seal the leak while a permanent fix was devised. The leak was successfully sealed with the use of a repair kit based on an epoxy sealant, and no further changes in air pressure were noted as of August 31^[3]^[4]. On September 4, 2018, it was announced that the hole was created by a drill, but it was unclear if it was accidental or deliberate.^[5]
