Uncrewed Soyuz MS-22 set to return home after damage.

TL;DR Summary
The Soyuz MS-22 spacecraft, which suffered a coolant leak last December, is preparing to return to Earth in automated mode without crew. The spacecraft will be loaded with cargo before undocking on March 28 and landing less than two hours later. The MS-22 crew's stay was extended to September, and they will continue to use the spacecraft as their emergency escape vehicle. The coolant leak led to speculation regarding a systemic fault in current Soyuz-based vehicles, but Roscosmos has declared that both the MS-23 return and MS-24 launch will remain scheduled for September.
