There are two main reasons for this. First, the MS-23, MS-22, and Progress MS-21, which were launched in February, may have a similar skin defect as the ships become depressurized after about three months. According to official information, the pressure loss occurred as a result of colliding with the outer surface of a space object. Also, the version of a flaw in the assembly of the MS-22 spacecraft on Earth was considered as justification.
The second reason for the change in the timing of the MS-24 flight to the ISS is that cosmonauts Sergei Prokopiev, Dmitry Petelin and NASA astronaut Francisco Rubio stayed on the station too long. They were supposed to stay in space for six months, but if you take them in September, then they will stay in space for a year, which is a very strong physical and psychological burden.
