Russia suggests International Space Station 'leak' was DELIBERATE sabotage: Officials claim hull may have been damaged before lift-off by someone using a drill with a 'wavering hand'

The 'micro fracture' was discovered after astronauts noticed a drop in pressure

It was originally believed the hole was caused by a micro-meteorite

This was triggered by oxygen escaping from inside the ISS into space

Russia now claims the damage came from inside the huge space station

A top official said marks from a drill were found around the small hole

A leading theory is that the hole was made on the ground

It has been suggested the person responsible may have already been identified

A Russian official has said the International Space Station (ISS) leak could have been caused deliberately by someone on the ground.

 

Space agency chief Dmitry Rogozin revealed that the hole in a Russian space craft docked at the orbiting station was caused by a drill held with a 'wavering hand'.

 

A commission will seek to identify the culprit by name, Rogozin said, calling this a 'matter of honour' for Russia's Energia space manufacturing company that made the Soyuz space craft.

 

The 'micro fracture' believed to be around 2mm wide in the $150 billion (£115 billion) space station was discovered after astronauts noticed a drop in pressure on 29 August.

 

It was initially believed to have been caused by a small meteorite and astronauts used tape to seal the leak after it caused a minor loss of pressure.

 

However, as the investigation went on it began to look like the hole was made from someone inside as opposed to outside, either back on Earth or in space, the Russian space agency claimed.

 

A leading theory from an unnamed source at Energia has said that the hole was made on the ground – potentially caused by 'deliberate interference' – with suggestions the person responsible may have already been identified.

 

Sources suggest the question of how to fix the hole may have strained relations between Moscow and Houston.
