NASA temporarily ordered astronauts to take shelter in a SpaceX capsule while cosmonauts repaired a leak on the Russian segment of the International Space Station. The leak is part of ongoing issues with cracks on that section, prompting an extensive repair by Roscosmos. NASA and Roscosmos are investigating the cause of the recurring problems.

A serious air leak in the Russian segment of the International Space Station (ISS) prompted NASA astronauts to temporarily shelter in the Dragon capsule as Roscosmos conducted repair operations. Leaks in the Zvezda module's transfer tunnel escalated in size, with partial repairs attempted using Germetall-1 sealant, though the issue remains unresolved.

NASA reversed an evacuation order for astronauts aboard the International Space Station (ISS) after a worsening air leak prompted temporary sheltering in SpaceX Crew Dragon spacecraft. The agency and Russia’s Roscosmos examined the leak rate, with Roscosmos stating no immediate threat to the crew despite ongoing efforts to repair cracks in the Zvezda service module. This marked the first reversal of a safe-haven order in the ISS’s 27-year history.

NASA temporarily ordered astronauts to take shelter in a SpaceX capsule while cosmonauts repaired a leak on the Russian side of the International Space Station. The decision was made out of caution, and the crew resumed normal operations after repairs paused. The affected area has had recurring cracks and leaks.

NASA temporarily ordered astronauts to shelter in a SpaceX capsule during repairs to fix a leak on the Russian side of the International Space Station. The decision was made as a precaution, and the crew resumed normal operations after repairs paused. The area has had recurring cracks and leaks, prompting a more extensive repair by Roscosmos.

NASA directed five astronauts to board a SpaceX Dragon spacecraft as Roscosmos attempts to repair leaks on the International Space Station's Zvezda service module. The leaks have raised concerns, prompting NASA to advise its crew to take an elevated safety posture during the repair operation.

NASA instructed astronauts to shelter in the SpaceX Dragon due to new leaks discovered in the International Space Station's Russian service module by Roscosmos, which is attempting repairs.

NASA has instructed astronauts on the International Space Station to prepare for possible evacuation as a precaution while Roscosmos addresses a potential leak. Four astronauts are currently sheltering in a transport capsule during the repair efforts.

NASA's SpaceX Crew-10 mission launched successfully from Cape Canaveral, Florida, carrying astronauts McClain, Ayers, JAXA's Takuya Onishi, and Roscosmos' Kirill Peskov to the International Space Station. The Falcon 9 rocket and Dragon spacecraft were used for the mission as part of NASA's Commercial Crew Program.

NASA confirmed that the Russian segment of the International Space Station is leaking atmosphere again, reversing hopes that the problem had been resolved in January. Microscopic structural cracks in the PrK module, a transfer tunnel attached to the Zvezda Service Module, have been the persistent source of leaks that engineers from both Roscosmos and NASA have been tracking for over six years.

Russia's Plesetsk Cosmodrome has faced multiple drone attack attempts in recent months, coinciding with increased satellite deployment efforts. The spaceport, a key military base, is being used to launch a satellite constellation similar to SpaceX's Starlink, which supports Ukraine's military communications.

NASA has assigned its first crew for a mission numbered '13' since Apollo 13, sending four astronauts to the International Space Station via a SpaceX Dragon spacecraft in mid-September. The crew includes NASA astronauts Jessica Watkins and Luke Delaney, Canadian Space Agency astronaut Joshua Kutryk, and Roscosmos cosmonaut Sergey Teteryatnikov, who will conduct research to support future lunar and Mars missions.
