  We employ holographic techniques to explore the effects of momentum
dissipation on the formation of topological defects during the critical
dynamics of a strongly coupled superconductor after a linear quench of
temperature. The gravity dual is the dRGT massive gravity in which the
conservation of momentum in the boundary field theory is broken by the presence
of a bulk graviton mass. From the scaling relations of defects number and
"freeze-out" time to the quench rate for various graviton masses, we
demonstrate that the momentum dissipation induced by graviton mass has little
effect on the scaling laws compared to the Kibble-Zurek mechanism. Inspired
from Pippard's formula in condensed matter, we propose an analytic relation
between the coherence length and the graviton mass, which agrees well with the
numerical results from the quasi-normal modes analysis. As a result, the
coherence length decreases with respect to the graviton mass, which indicates
that the momentum dissipation will augment the number of topological defects.
