Cosmonauts detected a strange odour emanating from a Russian spacecraft after it docked at the International Space Station (ISS) last weekend.

A Russian cargo ship docked at the space station fired its thrusters for five minutes Tuesday to move the ISS out of the way of an inbound object.

Cosmonauts noticed an unusual smell from the Progress 29 Spacecraft after it docked with the International Space Station on 23 November 2024.

There was brief cause for concern at the ISS recently when crew there reported an unexpected odor coming from Russia's recently docked Progress spacecraft.

Astronauts on the International Space Station (ISS) faced an unusual incident. Upon opening the Russian cargo spacecraft Progress 90, Russian cosmonauts detected an intense and unpleasant smell. The situation caused concern aboard the station and required immediate action.
