ISS Air Leak Rate Doubles in Russian Module

NASA and Roscosmos monitor the situation, ensuring crew safety as they address the growing leak.

A leak in the Russian Zvezda service module on the International Space Station has doubled in rate, now losing over two pounds of air a day.
NASA and Roscosmos are closely monitoring the situation, emphasizing that there is no immediate threat to the crew or the station's operations.
The leak's location can be sealed off to minimize air loss, and efforts are underway to address the issue.
Crew-8's upcoming mission to the ISS is not expected to be impacted by the leak.
Russia plans to leave the ISS by 2028 to build its own space station, while NASA aims to continue using the ISS through 2030.
