A Russian cosmonaut who explored a mysterious hole in a capsule docked to the International Space Station has said the opening was drilled from inside the spacecraft. Mr Prokopyev and two other astronauts returned to Earth last week from a 197-day space station mission. The hole in the Russian Soyuz spacecraft attached to the station was spotted on August 30. Roscosmos chief Dmitry Rogozin said in September the hole could have been drilled when the capsule was manufactured or in orbit.
