A Russian spacecraft docked to the International Space Station (ISS) didn’t just bring supplies to the ISS—it also brought a foul odor. The unpleasant aroma was strong enough to prompt astronauts to close the hatch connecting it to the rest of the space station and initiate anti-contamination procedures.
The Progress 90 cargo ship arrived at the Russian module at 9:31 a.m. ET on Saturday, November 23, delivering about three tons of food, fuel, and supplies for members of the Expedition 72 crew on board the ISS. After opening the hatch between Progress and the Poisk module, the crew noticed a noxious smell and droplets coming from the cargo ship. The Roscosmos cosmonauts closed the hatch immediately, fearing a possible contamination hazard, RussianSpaceWeb.com reported based on communication between mission control in Houston and the ISS astronauts.
NASA confirmed the report, adding that the foul smell does not indicate a safety concern for the ISS crew. “Space station air scrubbers and contaminant sensors monitored the station’s atmosphere following the observation, and on Sunday, flight controllers determined air quality inside the space station was at normal levels,” NASA wrote on X. “There are no concerns for the crew, and as of Sunday afternoon, the crew is working to open the hatch between Poisk and Progress while all other space station operations are proceeding as planned.
The Russian astronauts reportedly donned protective equipment and activated an air-scrubbing system on board the Russian module to scrub the space station’s atmosphere from possible contamination, according to RussianSpaceWeb.com. The U.S. section of the space station activated its own air-scrubbing system, the Trace Contaminant Control Sub-assembly, while the hatch to Russia’s Poisk module remained closed. RussianSpaceWeb.com added that NASA astronaut Don Pettit reported a “spray-paint like” smell in a U.S. module, but it wasn’t clear whether that smell...

Laugh and make fun, but the Russian Progress spacecraft has for many years been the only spacecraft to supply the Space Station, we had none.
“Progress spacecraft are used to resupply the International Space Station (ISS) as of 2021. Between 1 February 2003 and 26 July 2005, they were the only spacecraft available to transport large quantities of supplies to the station, as the Space Shuttle fleet was grounded after the breakup of Columbia at the end of STS-107….. Since its maiden flight in 1978, Progress has supported various space stations, including Salyut 6, Salyut 7, and Mir, and remains a key resupply vehicle for the International Space Station (ISS…..182 resupply missions….”

Past time to abandon that toy. We have put up with it long enough. It may have been cool once but it is junk and a millstone now.
...so that the deaf can also enjoy it.
