An unusual toxic smell was detected by the ISS crew after opening the Progress MS-29 cargo spacecraft. The astronauts found droplets inside and promptly sealed the hatch to isolate the potential hazard.

A crew of astronauts aboard the International Space Station (ISS), led by Commander Sunita Williams, quickly responded to an emergency triggered after a strange "toxic" smell was detected when opening a cargo spacecraft.

In a recent incident that triggered panic, astronauts aboard the International Space Station (ISS), commanded by Sunita Williams, took swift safety measures on November 23 after Russian cosmonauts reported an unusual toxic odor while opening the Progress MS-29 cargo spacecraft.

Stranded NASA Astronaut Sunita "Suni" Williams revealed how she and Barry "Butch" Willmore are spending Thanksgiving in space, months after a vessel malfunction led to indefinite trip on ISS.

A Russian supply ship brought food and equipment to the International Space Station. Cosmonauts detected a strange smell. They closed a hatch and turned on air purifiers. The odor went away quickly. The crew accessed the supplies.

The space station's current crew includes Roscosmos' Aleksandr Gorbunov, Ivan Vagner and Alexey Ovchinin, and Nasa's Pettit, Nick Hague, as well as Sunita Williams and Butch Wilmore.

A strange smell stalled space operations on the International Space Station this week. NASA had to delay unloading a Russian spacecraft cargo delivery because of the concerning odor. The good news is that all the astronauts were safe during the ordeal and can enjoy a special Thanksgiving feast in orbit.

The hatch between a Russian cargo ship and (ISS) is finally open after a foul stench initially prompted astronauts to seal it off. The good news is, the smell has not lingered and NASA may have figured out the cause.
