Five astronauts aboard the International Space Station (ISS) have been placed on high alert following the detection of an air leak in the Russian Zvezda service module. NASA has instructed these astronauts, part of the Crew-12 mission, to take shelter in the Crew Dragon spacecraft, which is currently docked to the ISS, and to don their spacesuits as a safety measure. This precautionary directive comes from NASA’s mission control as they work alongside the Russian space agency Roscosmos to locate and repair the leak. Discussions between NASA and Roscosmos have been ongoing for months regarding previous small air leaks in the Zvezda module. However, recent reports indicate that the air loss has significantly increased, raising concerns about the safety of the crew. As efforts to address the leak continue, preparations for a possible evacuation are being implemented strictly as a safety protocol.
