A damaged Soyuz space capsule returned from the International Space Station （ISS） today without a crew. At 7:46 am EDT （5:46 pm local time）， the descent module of the Soyuz MS-22 spacecraft made an automated parachute ground landing in Kazakhstan.

今天，受损的联盟号太空舱从国际空间站返回，没有搭载宇航员。美国东部时间早上7点46分（当地时间下午5点46分），联盟MS-22飞船的下降模块在哈萨克斯坦进行了自动降落伞地面着陆。

Today's touchdown is the latest chapter in a drama that began on December 14, 2022 when a leak was detected in the coolant system of the Soyuz capsule that carried NASA astronaut Frank Rubio and Roscosmos cosmonauts Sergey Prokopyev and Dmitri Petelin to the ISS in September 2022.

2022年12月14日，联盟号太空舱的冷却系统中检测到泄漏，今天的着陆是该戏剧性事件的最新进展，该太空舱于2022年9月将美国宇航局宇航员弗兰克·卢比奥、俄罗斯航天局宇航员谢尔盖·普罗科皮耶夫和德米特里·彼得林运送到国际空间站。

A preliminary investigation suggested that the craft had been damaged by a micrometeorite strike, leaving a 0.8-mm hole in the external cooling radiator located on the service module. It was determined that the Soyuz was not safe for the astronauts to use to return to Earth, so the launch schedules were juggled and a rescue craft, Soyuz M-23, was sent to the ISS on February 26. The stranded crew are slated to return this September.

初步调查表明，飞船被微陨石撞击，在服务舱的外部冷却散热器上留下了一个0.8毫米的洞。经确定，联盟号对宇航员返回地球来说并不安全，因此不得不打乱既定的发射计划。救援飞船联盟M-23号， 于2月26日被送往国际空间站，滞留的宇航员将于今年9月返回地球。

Normally, an uncrewed spacecraft from the ISS would be allowed to burn up in the Earth's atmosphere, but Roscosmos wanted the descent module intact to help in its investigation of the incident.

通常情况下，国际空间站的无人航天器可以在地球大气层中燃烧，但俄罗斯联邦航天局希望下降模块能完好无损，以帮助调查这起事件。
