wasn't prior leakage due to micro metorite?

Either a micrometeoroid or a very small piece of space-junk.

Edit: TheSpaceBucket has just put out a video about the new leak.


Last year in December, a Russian Soyuz MS-22 crewed spacecraft leaked all of its coolant leaving its astronauts without a ride home for the time being. Only a few months later a different Progress spacecraft reported a depressurization thanks to a leak in the vehicle’s coolant system. Now in October, new reports are coming out that toxic ammonia flakes were observed on the station’s Russian Multipurpose Laboratory Module due to another possible leak.

Specifically, flight controllers noticed the leak and relayed that information to astronauts on board who were able to visibly confirm it. With this information only just coming out, NASA and Roscosmos are still trying to figure out the best course of action and decide the next steps. While not ideal, they both made it clear that astronauts on board are not in any danger.

This leak marks the third instance within a year for Russian hardware visiting or apart of the station to have difficulties. It also adds to the conversation of NASA’s plans with the station and its eventual retirement and de-orbit. Here I will go more in-depth into the new leak, plans to fix it, what it means for the future of the station, and more.

An updated schedule of Russian lunar missions was presented at the 14th International Symposium on Solar System Research. #Luna26 (orbiter) will not be launched earlier, as some of the experts expected. #Luna27 is now scheduled for NET 2028 (instead of 2028) and has a backup.

The #Luna27 backup lander will be launched few months after Luna-27.

Space Threat Assessment 2024

The 2024 Space Threat Assessment covers the growing counterspace capabilities of China, Russia, India, Iran, North Korea, and others. It also features analysis on the normalization of deviance on orbit and a look into coalitions of convenience that are being formed.

Why they start another Manned Spacecraft Proposal ?
is there issue or problem with Orel ?

Both the Orel spacecraft and the new ROS station continue their development. On July 2, 2024, Roscosmos head Yuri Borisov signed the assembly plan for the new ROS space station. The Kosmoplan spaceplane I believe is a very long-term proposal.

LeoLabs reports that the break-up of Resurs-P1 was most likely the result of a "low-intensity explosion" caused by either a debris impact or an internal event.

Glass screens for the commander--gauges for the co-pilot. That would be my choice.

JSC GLONASS presented the first Russian wearable mobile satellite communications terminal​

JSC GLONASS, the operator of the state information system ERA-GLONASS, presented a prototype of a mobile satellite communication terminal unique in size and characteristics. The development, previously successfully tested for mass civilian use, became part of the project "Import Substitution in the Gas Industry" at the St. Petersburg International Gas Forum.

The mobile terminal is already capable of providing personal satellite communications anywhere in Russia by using the resources of existing domestic satellites in geostationary orbit. The solution, before the launch of Russian low-orbit satellite constellations, ensures high-quality import substitution of products from foreign providers that have left the Russian Federation market.

The compact and portable version of the terminal measures 24 cm in width and height, 5 cm in depth, and weighs less than 1.5 kg. The wide beam of the ultra-small antenna simplifies pointing at the satellite and eliminates the complex setup of equipment, as is the case with using satellite dishes. This is the first personal satellite communication solution for mobile objects in Russia, designed to transmit voice and data in real time.

"The mobile satellite communication terminal developed by our team provides two-way voice communication, WiFi connection for smartphones and IoT devices, Internet for instant messengers, mail and exchange of service information, transmission of emergency messages in areas without cellular coverage. We plan to launch serial production of such devices in the near future. The technology and resource of domestic satellites in geostationary orbit cover the existing demand for satellite communications throughout the country. And the key thing is that our solution will ensure the technological sovereignty of Russia and domestic business in the field of navigation and communications," said Alexey Raikevich, General Director of JSC GLONASS .

Interesting that they're still using landing legs. Seems like a heavy solution versus, say, airbags.
 
Maybe a VA type "stem" that can also serve as a launch abort tower? That would get the way of docking though.
