Russian cosmonauts in space used a knife to find hole in space station
A drill hole was discovered and plugged in a Soyuz spacecraft at the International Space Station in September.
Two Russians performed a spacewalk outside the ISS on Tuesday to study the leak site from the outside.
The cosmonauts used a knife to stab and hack away at insulation in the Soyuz spacecraft.
They took photos of the hole and collected samples of the Soyuz for analysis back on Earth.
When crew members float outside the International Space Station to build, inspect, or repair the $150 billion orbiting laboratory, they usually follow a meticulous plan.
But a spacewalk by two Russian cosmonauts on Tuesday was anything but typical.
Oleg Kononenko and Sergey Prokopyev spent nearly eight hours cutting, stabbing, and hacking away at a Russian Soyuz spaceship with a knife and pair of scissors some 250 miles above Earth.
