Russian Segment Of ISS Has An Air Leak But Crew Not In Danger

The Russian segment of the International Space Station (ISS) is experiencing a persistent air leak, according to Russia's space agency, Roscosmos. While the agency assures that the leak does not pose a threat to the crew onboard, specialists are actively monitoring and addressing the issue. Despite recent reports of an increased leak, NASA's station project manager emphasized that it remains small and does not endanger the crew. The ageing space outpost requires more maintenance, and previous leaks and glitches have been addressed without impacting operations. Amid tensions between Russia and the West, the International Space Station stands as a symbol of international cooperation. Currently, the crew includes astronauts from NASA, the European Space Agency, Russia and Japan.
