Roscosmos said the extended space stay -- normally ISS missions last six months -- posed no health risks for the crew, adding that they had taken the news of their mission extending "positively."In 2021, Russia's Pyotr Dubrov and the US's Mark Vande also spent a year on the ISS after their mission was extended, it said.
The launch of the rescue Soyuz capsule was itself postponed earlier this month after another vessel -- a Russian supply ship docked at the ISS, the Progress MS-21 -- had also leaked coolant, sparking concern.
On Tuesday Roscosmos said that particular leak was caused by an "exterior impact," based on photos and videos that showed holes on the capsule's exterior, including on the radiator and solar panels.

Un tas nemaz nav kaut kā amizanti vai tā, hi hi .. bet kosmiskās misijas atstāj iespaidu uz kosmonautu fizioloģiju, un negaidīta aizkavēšanās (bez gravitācijas telpā) var izraisīt sliktas sekas. Bet gan jau krievu kosmonauti nokļūs mājās un pēc misijas atlabs normāli.
