They saw the hole in the instrument panel. But did it zing all the way through the capsule? Is the radiator piping near the panel?

The instrumentation/service module is the wide end part of a Soyuz that has propulsion, antennas, and solar panels. It also has radiators and coolers. One of the statements is that a radiator is what was punctured.

Here is a picture of the spacecraft, with the ISM on left and radiators mounted externally, along with the many hoses and cabling that are then covered with an external thermal blanket.

Thanks, I appreciate it. I thought they were talking about the dashboard.
