A segment of the International Space Station controlled by Russia is currently experiencing a significant air leak, causing concern among cosmonauts and space agency officials. The leak, which has been ongoing since 2019, has escalated in severity this year, prompting urgent efforts to address the issue.
The leaking segment, located in the Russian module known as Zvezda, is crucial for hosting astronauts and maintaining a habitable environment within the space station. While efforts to reduce the leak rate have been somewhat successful, disagreements persist between Roscosmos and NASA regarding the potential risks posed by the situation.
