A procedure was devised to test for the location of the leak. Following these procedures these procedures were transmitted to the Cosmonauts, who were able to carry it out on 29 October. They manged to install two additional solar batteries on the exterior of Salyut-7, which were necessary to meet their power consumption needs.
