Soyuz air leak during descent October 11

Soyuz air leak during descent October 11


From information that I have received,
the air leak in the Soyuz TMA-6 on October 11
was from about 780 mmHg to 680 mmHg
over a three hour period from undocking
until de-orbit burn.

The crew had their Sokol suits so lives were
not in danger.

Would I be accurate in writing, however, that
this is the most serious inadvertant depressurization
of a Russian manned space vehicle since 1971?
Or at least, the most serious KNOWN
depressurization?

Was the Progress/Spektr collision on Mir worse?

Not in my book - Mir, 1997.

Exactly true, but it had slipped my mind,
too concentrated on SOYUZ events. Thank you!!
