"Russian ISS Module Experiences Recurring Air Leak, NASA Monitors Situation"

NASA is monitoring an increased air leak in the Russian Zvezda service module on the International Space Station, which has doubled in magnitude to more than 0.9 kilograms of air lost per day. The leak, first detected in 2019, does not currently pose a safety risk, but NASA and Roscosmos are working on next steps to address it, including potential access to the vestibule and ways to study the leak. The leak has been extensively analyzed, and while it is manageable, ongoing investigations aim to understand and mitigate its implications for the space station.
