The butler did it.
Obviously, Donald Trump did it. LOL
Guy drilled a hole in the wrong spot while making the Russian part of the ISS and covered it up. Patch freezes and expands in space.
Shatner knows who did it but nobody will listen to him.
It certainly looks like a hole that was drilled.
Regardless of how the hole formed it looks like an easy fix. Run a tap through the hole. Spread some sealant on the threads of a bolt. And then install the bolt. You will get a durable and permanent seal.
Space psychosis?
Patched it with Adams Sour Gum ,LOL , the favorite Gum of the Russians
Have the ISS declared a national emergency...
Governor Moonbeam strategy...except not with wildfires.
Hooligans!
The stampings may be similar to a method we used at a major US aerospace company to document a repair. We would ink stamp an area near a repair with the QA documentation method that allowed the repair.
A repair, by definition in MIL-STD-1520/ISO 9000:2000, may make a component functional but not in compliance to original engineering documentation.
In this case, the repair may have been a patch or plug that failed revealing the original defect.
I can understand it. After all this time, farts have to make up a pretty significant portion of the air up there.
Wavering hand ????
Sounds like someone had shakes from too much vodka......
If the hole was drilled while the ISS was in orbit, someone would have been alerted to the drilling at that location. There should be tiny pieces of residue of the patch. That residue can be traced to its origin. They need to patch the hole from the outside so they can scrub out the hole for any trace substance. Then send the sample back to earth.
Are there drills with bits that size present on the station now? If not, then it’s likely pretty old, made during earthbound construction and patched. Shakey work like that looks like a 5 vodka lunch.
"Comrade, hold my Wodka and watch this!"
I was being serious when I Posted this the other day.
Time for a Psychological evaluation on the Crew hopefully without their knowledge.
I would also keep 1 American and 1 Ruskie awake while others sleep and change Watches for 24 hour Security.
Someone is trying to kill everybody else.
My bet is 1 is KGB and has been ordered by putyboy to kill American Astronauts because of Political crap with the USA...

A 2mm hole ?
Strip search for a 2mm drill bit.
The Kapon tape is the brown flexible stuff inside computers and other electronic devices
I can survive in space!
