Astronauts on board the International Space Station have now been told by NASA to “end the safe haven procedures and return to planned operations aboard the International Space Station.”
This comes after NASA instructed astronauts onboard the International Space Station to prepare to evacuate following worsening air leaks.
“The Zvezda service module transfer tunnel, known as PrK, has suffered from cracks and leaks for some time, and has been mitigated by Roscosmos as much as possible to date,” Bethany Stevens, a spokesperson with NASA posted to X.
As Nathaniel Dove reports, the air leaks have been relatively minor in recent months but escalated on Monday from a pound of air per day to two pounds.
