Ngokwemibiko yabezindaba, i-Rocket and Space Corporation Energia yenze izidingo, ukuqaliswa kwazo okuzonciphisa ingozi yezimo eziphuthumayo kumkhumbi-mkhathi we-Soyuz uma kwenzeka zithola izimbobo lapho zishayisana nemfucumfucu yasemkhathini noma ama-micrometeorite. Umphumela womsebenzi owenziwe ochwepheshe be-RSC Energia wethulwa emakhasini ephephabhuku lezesayensi nezobuchwepheshe elithi “Space Equipment and Technologies”.
Imibono esemqoka yokuqinisekisa ukuphepha ohlelweni lokuqeda izingozi ezenzeka ngenxa yokucindezeleka ngenxa yokwakhiwa kwezimbobo ekufakweni kwemikhumbi yokuthutha imi kanje:
- ukuhlinzeka ngemikhumbi-mkhathi kanye ne-ISS ngamathuluzi okuthola izindawo ezivuzayo,
- ukuqeqeshwa kwezenzo zabasebenzi uma kwenzeka ukucindezeleka kwe-ISS,
- ukugunyazwa kokuvinjelwa kokuhlelwa kwemigqa yezokuthutha ebekwe phakathi kwe-hatch phakathi komkhumbi nendawo eseduze (ukuvinjelwa akusebenzi emigodini yomoya ekhishwa ngokushesha, kanye nezinsimbi ezixhuma amayunithi okudokha asebenzayo kanye ne-passive).
Masikhumbule ukuthi ngo-Agasti 30 ngonyaka odlule, izisebenzi ze-ISS zathola ukuvuza komoya emkhathini we-Soyuz MS-09. Kwasetshenziswa umshini we-ultrasonic waseMelika ukuze kutholwe imbobo ebhokisini. Kuyaphawuleka ukuthi ngisho nangaleso sikhathi ama-cosmonauts acabanga ukuthi imbobo ye-casing yenziwe nge-drill, kodwa i-Roscosmos yabeka phambili inguqulo esemthethweni, ngokusho ukuthi umgodi wakhiwe ngenxa yokushayisana ne-micrometeorite. Kamuva, izisebenzi zomkhumbi zakwazi ukuhlanganisa imbobo zisebenzisa indawo ekhethekile yokulungisa. Uphenyo ngokubonakala kwembobo esikhumbeni somkhumbi-mkhathi i-Soyuz MS-09 lusaqhubeka.
