On the International Space Station, a place of possible air leakage in the Zvezda module was discovered.
The discovery of a "suspicious" place in the module compartment was reported by cosmonaut Pyotr Dubrov during negotiations with the Flight Control Center.
“There was a suspicious place.
I was engaged in photographing it under a microscope with magnifying glasses, ” the cosmonaut quoted Interfax as saying.
Recall that in August 2020, air leakage to the ISS was detected in the transition chamber of the Zvezda module.
In October last year, cosmonauts managed to find the crack and repair it with temporary means.
In August 2021, the media reported the detection of non-through cracks in the Russian module of the ISS "Zarya".
Executive Director of Roscosmos for manned programs Sergei Krikalev said then that he had no information about new cracks at the station.
At the same time, the representative of the state corporation noted that even in the presence of non-through cracks, the ISS can be operated for another 20 years.

How did a bag of tea help astronauts save $150 billion?
A few years ago, a torn bag helped save the ISS
The International Space Station was built in 1998 for $150 billion.
Every year, another 3-4 billion dollars are spent to maintain its operability, but the design is already very old and needs repair more and more often.
For example, in August 2020, a pressure drop was recorded aboard the space station, which is a sign of an air leak.
All astronauts and cosmonauts on board were isolated in the Russian Zvezda module.
After some time, it was found out that the air-permeable crack was in the module in which the entire crew temporarily settled.
One of the Russian cosmonauts was able to quickly find the place of leakage with the help of a usual tea bag.
Oxygen on the ISS
According to the India Times, the space station loses about 250 grams of oxygen every day and this is normal - it is difficult to achieve complete tightness.
In the event of an acute shortage of oxygen, it is delivered by cargo ships, but is most often produced directly at the station.
In the second case, members of the ISS use electrolysis - an electric current is passed through the water, as a result of which oxygen appears.
To do this, on board there is a life support system ECLSS, which not only monitors the operation of the station, but also provides people with access to water, protects against fires and so on.
ECLSS technical director Robyn Carrasquillo once praised Russia for using a way to extract moisture from the air, even in the old Salyut and Mir spacecraft.
ECLSS system
Oxygen leakage to the ISS
In August 2020, the space station began to lose about a kilogram of air per day.
The situation was serious, but the lives of the ISS crew were not threatened.
Astronauts from different countries temporarily began to live in the Russian module “Zvezda ” and for four days searched for a leak in other parts of the station.
The search did not give any results, so it became clear that the gap is in the Zvezda module launched more than 20 years ago.
The leak could have occurred for various reasons, for example, due to the collision of the ISS with space debris, which is a lot in near-Earth space.
Also, it was not excluded that seals simply peeled off from the walls of the station, which just do not allow oxygen to leak.
ISS module "Zvezda"
Search for the place of oxygen leakage
An unusual way to find the leak was found by cosmonaut Anatoly Ivanishin.
He installed several cameras in the module and opened the tea bag.
After some time, the ISS members noticed that the tea leaves began to move slowly towards one of the metal walls of the module.
After studying the trajectory of the leaves, the space crew quickly found the crack formed on the ISS.
First, they taped this place with tape, and then got permission to use a drill and sealant.
It is known that thanks to the trick with a package of tea, the astronauts managed to save about 150 billion dollars.
Russian cosmonaut Anatoly Ivanishin
The International Space Station is aging and will one day become completely unusable – that ’ s a fact.
New cracks were discovered even in 2021.
Especially there are many of them in the Russian module “Zarya ”, which was launched into space in 1998 and today is the oldest part of the station.
More recently, Vladimir Solovyov, General Designer of the Energia Rocket and Space Corporation, announced his concerns about the safety of the station.
It is especially frightening that the station is planned to be used even after 2025.
In theory, the use of the old station could cause a terrible disaster.
ISS module "Zarya"
Finally, I note that to replace the old module "Dawn" it was planned to send the module "Science".
But it became an independent module and docked to the ISS in July 2021.
The docking was far from perfect - the module deployed the station at 45 degrees.

Russia comments on space station leak

A NASA official had previously reported that air loss from the Zvezda module had doubled

Air leaking from a segment of the International Space Station (ISS) poses no risk to its crew or the orbital outpost, the Russian space agency Roscosmos has said.

A NASA official had previously reported that the rate at which air was escaping from the satellite's Russian Zvezda module under certain circumstances had doubled. The situation is under control and being constantly monitored, the Roscosmos told Interfax on Wednesday, when asked about remarks by NASA’s ISS program manager, Joel Montalbano,.

”The aging of the station’s structure and the growing need for repair and maintenance work on board require a significant portion of the crew’s time,” Roscosmos said.

Montalbano mentioned the issue during this week’s briefing on the upcoming SpaceX Crew-8 mission, which is scheduled for launch on Friday.

”There is an area in the aft end of the International Space Station. [There is] a small leak. We’ve seen this leak increase about a week before the recent Progress launch and docking,” he said, referring to a Russian automatic supply freighter.

The volume of lost air has increased to about two pounds a day, compared to a pound a day previously, Montalbano said.

”The hatch is closed in that area. It’s not an impact on Crew-8, but I didn’t want anyone to be surprised, if they hear about that later,” he explained.

The use of the module for retrieving the Progress shipment didn’t pose any issues in terms of the leak, he said. The next opening of the hatch is expected in April. While it’s closed, the rest of the station is “solid.”

Technical issues at the ISS are being reported on a regular basis. Roscosmos has said the age of the station is a key reason why it is developing plans for a new purely Russian-manned orbital structure as an alternative to participating in the international project.

Content: Russian space station laboratory module appears to spring coolant leak

An apparent exterior coolant leak from a Russian laboratory module at the International Space Station has been reported by the crew. It follows similar leaks that struck a Russian Soyuz crew ferry craft and a Progress cargo ship within the past year.

This latest incident was reported by Mission Control Center at NASA’s Johnson Space Center in Houston to NASA space station crew member Jasmin Moghbeli around 1 p.m. EDT (1700 UTC).

“We’re seeing flakes outside. Need a crew to go to the cupola, look toward the aft side, we think windows five or six, and confirm any visual flakes,” mission control requested.

Moghbeli, the commander of the SpaceX Crew-7 mission and current ISS flight engineer, said she would go check it out herself. She was asked if she could confirm the point of origin, since it was difficult to see that from the ground perspective.

“Yeah, there’s a leak coming from the radiator on the MLM,” Moghbeli said.

The MLM is the Multipurpose Laboratory Module, also called “Nauka.” It’s the newest module of the space station, having launched on a Russian Proton rocket on July 21, 2021.

“We copy and we think we concur. We just confirmed it with video and they’re seeing it here on the ground,” Mission Control replied. “Jaws [a nickname for Moghbeli], can you please close the cupola shutters?”

Less than a minute later, Moghbeli confirmed the shutters were closed. This was presumably to prevent the surface of the windows being contaminated by the leaking coolant. About 20 minutes after that, ISS Commander and European Space Agency (ESA) astronaut Andreas Mogensen confirmed to Mission Control that the gym and lab shutters on the U.S. side of the space station were also closed.

NASA has not yet made an official comment regarding the leak.

This is a developing story. Check back for updates.

The Russian organization Roscosmos reported an air leak at the International Space Station, which was detected over two years ago and is located in the "Star" module.

The air leak at the International Space Station was reported by Russian cosmonauts Peter Dobrov and Anton Shkaplerov, who discovered the possible location of the leak in the Zvezda unit in December.

Russia and the United States will determine the causes of cracks that are looking for on the ISS from 2020
Russian and American experts during the meeting determine the reasons that led to the formation of cracks in the transition chamber (PrK) of the service module "Star" of the Russian segment of the ISS.
This was announced on Wednesday by the chief specialist (RSC) "Energy" (included in).

“Now there is a meeting with American partners, why they [cracks] formed.
The first factor is age, <... > the second is technological solutions that eventually led to cracks, "Spirin said at the XLVII Academic Readings on Cosmonautics in memory of S. P. Korolev.
Video of the day
According to him, the leakage rate for the station is 325 grams per day.
“We stayed until 2019.
When the PrK was closed, we entered this norm, "the expert explained, stressing that if the camera is isolated and opened extremely rarely, then you can continue to fly to the ISS.
According to the presentation presented by Spirin, since the start of work on the search for the leak in September 2020, the damage to the shell has been localized and eliminated in three places.
"As a result of the work, the rate of air leakage from PrK was consistently reduced from 1.14 kg per day to 0.47 kg per day on a permanent basis and to 0.3 kg per day - on a temporary basis," the presentation emphasizes.
In March 2021, cosmonauts Roscosmos and Sergey Kud-Sverchkov carried out repair and restoration work on the housing of the Zvezda module, where they found a crack and a number of possible leaks.
All actions were carried out under the leadership of the Main Operational Group of the ISS Russian Segment and RSC Energia engineers and coordinated with specialists.
In mid-April 2022, a Roscosmos cosmonaut told reporters that air leakage had decreased three times after sealing the cracks.
XLVII Academic Readings on Cosmonautics in memory of S. P. Korolev (Royal Readings) are held at the Bauman Moscow State Technical University from January 24 to 27.

The crew of the International Space Station was not in danger due to the air leak situation.

Air leakage occurred on the Russian segment of the ISS, the crew and the station itself is not threatened.
This writes TASS with reference to the press service of Roscosmos.
“Indeed, experts fix the leakage of air on board the ISS.
The crew regularly carries out work to find and eliminate possible leakage sites, and the data coming from the station are transmitted for analysis to specialists in the normal mode, ” the state corporation said.
According to "Interfax" with reference to the head of the NASA program on the ISS Joel Montalbano, the leak is observed in the tail part of the ISS.
“We saw that the leak increased about a week before the last launch of Progress and its docking with the station, ” he said.
The head of the NASA program on the ISS said that the air in the transition chamber of the Zvezda module began to leave twice as fast.
According to Montalbano, experts are in contact with Russian colleagues on the next steps.
However, this situation does not affect the safety of the crew, he said.
Last year, Russian cosmonauts Oleg Kononenko and Nikolai Chub in outer space disconnected the faulty circuit of the additional radiator on the module "Science" from the main circuit of the module.
Before that, they went into outer space, opening the exit hatch of the module "Search" of the International Space Station.

An air leak occurred at the International Space Station on August 30, caused by a manufacturing defect in the Soyuz MS-09 spacecraft, and was fixed by Russian cosmonauts using special sealant.

Title:

Content: Soyuz manufacturing defect causes air leak at International Space Station
Kazakhstan News Agency / Astana / September 3 - According to the Russian satellite network reported on the 3rd, Russian rocket space sources said that the manufacturing defect is the cause of the "Soyuz MS-09" spacecraft leak.
There was an air leak on the International Space Station on August 30.
The astronauts examined all the compartments and found tiny cracks in the Soyuz MS-09 spacecraft.
It is located in the living module, not in the return module, so it will not affect the return of the spacecraft to Earth.
It was previously thought that the fissure was the result of a miniature meteorite hitting the spacecraft.
The next night, Russian cosmonauts used special sealant to fill the hole.
The source said: "The cause of the crack in the inner shell of the living module has been identified and it has appeared on Earth.
The person responsible for the fault was identified. "
According to another source, the crew likely sealed the leak with special glue after realizing the mistake, so it was not detected during the pre-launch check and the spacecraft ’ s first two months of orbital flight.
"However, the glue later dried out and was squeezed out, revealing cracks," he said.
The Russian space agency said a special committee would investigate and determine the cause of the accident.

Air leakage occurred on the Russian segment of the ISS, the crew and the station itself is not threatened.
This writes TASS with reference to the press service of Roscosmos.
“Indeed, experts fix the leakage of air on board the ISS.
The crew regularly carries out work to find and eliminate possible leakage sites, and the data coming from the station are transmitted for analysis to specialists in the normal mode, ” the state corporation said.
According to "Interfax" with reference to the head of the NASA program on the ISS Joel Montalbano, the leak is observed in the tail part of the ISS.
“We saw that the leak increased about a week before the last launch of Progress and its docking with the station, ” he said.
The head of the NASA program on the ISS said that the air in the transition chamber of the Zvezda module began to leave twice as fast.
According to Montalbano, experts are in contact with Russian colleagues on the next steps.
However, this situation does not affect the safety of the crew, he said.
Last year, Russian cosmonauts Oleg Kononenko and Nikolai Chub in outer space disconnected the faulty circuit of the additional radiator on the module "Science" from the main circuit of the module.
Before that, they went into outer space, opening the exit hatch of the module "Search" of the International Space Station.

An air leak was detected at the International Space Station in 2019, with the leakage rate increasing fivefold by 2020. The cause was identified as a crack in the Zvezda module, but sealing it did not stop the leak, and further cracks were found on the 'Dawn' module.

ISS crew reports smoke and smell of burnt plastic
In the Russian module “Zvezda ” on the International space station (ISS) last night worked fire alarm, reports RIA“ Novosti ” with reference to the negotiations of the crew with the Earth, which broadcasts NASA.
Around five in the morning Moscow time, cosmonaut Oleg Novitsky told the Mission Control Center about the smoke and smell of burnt plastic.
After that, the devices showed the presence of harmful substances in the area of the medical cabinet in the Zvezda module.
French astronaut Tom Pesquet said that the smell of burnt plastic or electronics also penetrated the American segment of the ISS due to the working ventilation.
The source of the smoke and smell has not yet been identified.
The ISS included a system for removing harmful impurities.
Later, Roscosmos said that the smoke sensor and alarm system worked on the ISS “during automatic recharging of batteries. ”
Currently, all systems of the station are working normally, the department notes.
The Russian service module Zvezda docked to the ISS in July 2000.
Its main frame was built in the 1980s as the core of the Mir-2 space station, which was to replace the Mir station, but then it was decided to use it in the ISS program.
Zvezda allows a crew of three cosmonauts to stay in space, and the module can also dock with the Progress cargo ship, which once every three months delivers the necessary supplies to the station and adjusts its orbit.
In the fall of 2019, an air leak was recorded on the ISS.
A year later, the leakage rate increased fivefold.
Sequential sealing of the station compartments allowed us to establish that the cause of the leak was a crack in the Russian segment of the ISS - Zvezda.
The astronauts sealed it with a sealant, but the air leak continued.
Recently, during the survey of the International Space Station, cosmonauts found non-through cracks on the oldest module - "Dawn".
At the end of July, a meeting of the Presidium of the Scientific and Technical Council of Roscosmos took place, where it was noted that the station is breathing on incense.
The International Space Station will expire in 2024.
Earlier, Vladimir Solovyov, General Designer of the Energia Rocket and Space Corporation, predicted an avalanche of failure of numerous elements at the station after 2025.
This mainly concerns the tightness of the housing and complex computing facilities that have developed their resource, Solovyov noted.

Moscow, January 1.
Russian cosmonauts Pyotr Dubrov and Anton Shkaplerov discovered in the Zvezda module on the International Space Station, presumably the last place of air leakage.
This was reported in the press service of Roscosmos.
The first small leak was discovered on the ISS back in 2019, since then, astronauts have been monitoring the situation and eliminating cracks in the hull.
Experts know how to return the module tightness.
This will be done as soon as Progress delivers the necessary equipment to orbit.
“Russian cosmonauts Peter Dubrov and Anton Shkaplerov found a possible last place of air leakage in the intermediate chamber of the service module“ Star ” of the Russian segment of the ISS ”, — stated in the message.
Russian President Vladimir Putin previously admitted the possibility of continuing the operation of the ISS after 2024.
This is necessary to maintain high launch activity.

The air leak at the International Space Station was detected in August 2020 and repaired with temporary means by cosmonauts in October 2020 after they found the crack causing the leak.

The air leak at the International Space Station, detected in 2019, was found to be located in the Zvezda module, and a fix is planned to be implemented once the necessary equipment is delivered to orbit.

The International Space Station air leak was located using a tea bag and sealed with tape and sealant after potentially being caused by space debris or seal peeling.

How did a bag of tea help astronauts save $150 billion?
A few years ago, a torn bag helped save the ISS
The International Space Station was built in 1998 for $150 billion.
Every year, another 3-4 billion dollars are spent to maintain its operability, but the design is already very old and needs repair more and more often.
For example, in August 2020, a pressure drop was recorded aboard the space station, which is a sign of an air leak.
All astronauts and cosmonauts on board were isolated in the Russian Zvezda module.
After some time, it was found out that the air-permeable crack was in the module in which the entire crew temporarily settled.
One of the Russian cosmonauts was able to quickly find the place of leakage with the help of a usual tea bag.
Oxygen on the ISS
According to the India Times, the space station loses about 250 grams of oxygen every day and this is normal - it is difficult to achieve complete tightness.
In the event of an acute shortage of oxygen, it is delivered by cargo ships, but is most often produced directly at the station.
In the second case, members of the ISS use electrolysis - an electric current is passed through the water, as a result of which oxygen appears.
To do this, on board there is a life support system ECLSS, which not only monitors the operation of the station, but also provides people with access to water, protects against fires and so on.
ECLSS technical director Robyn Carrasquillo once praised Russia for using a way to extract moisture from the air, even in the old Salyut and Mir spacecraft.
ECLSS system
Oxygen leakage to the ISS
In August 2020, the space station began to lose about a kilogram of air per day.
The situation was serious, but the lives of the ISS crew were not threatened.
Astronauts from different countries temporarily began to live in the Russian module “Zvezda ” and for four days searched for a leak in other parts of the station.
The search did not give any results, so it became clear that the gap is in the Zvezda module launched more than 20 years ago.
The leak could have occurred for various reasons, for example, due to the collision of the ISS with space debris, which is a lot in near-Earth space.
Also, it was not excluded that seals simply peeled off from the walls of the station, which just do not allow oxygen to leak.
ISS module "Zvezda"
Search for the place of oxygen leakage
An unusual way to find the leak was found by cosmonaut Anatoly Ivanishin.
He installed several cameras in the module and opened the tea bag.
After some time, the ISS members noticed that the tea leaves began to move slowly towards one of the metal walls of the module.
After studying the trajectory of the leaves, the space crew quickly found the crack formed on the ISS.
First, they taped this place with tape, and then got permission to use a drill and sealant.
It is known that thanks to the trick with a package of tea, the astronauts managed to save about 150 billion dollars.
Russian cosmonaut Anatoly Ivanishin
The International Space Station is aging and will one day become completely unusable – that ’ s a fact.
New cracks were discovered even in 2021.
Especially there are many of them in the Russian module “Zarya ”, which was launched into space in 1998 and today is the oldest part of the station.
More recently, Vladimir Solovyov, General Designer of the Energia Rocket and Space Corporation, announced his concerns about the safety of the station.
It is especially frightening that the station is planned to be used even after 2025.
In theory, the use of the old station could cause a terrible disaster.
ISS module "Zarya"
Finally, I note that to replace the old module "Dawn" it was planned to send the module "Science".
But it became an independent module and docked to the ISS in July 2021.
The docking was far from perfect - the module deployed the station at 45 degrees.

Russia and the United States will determine the causes of cracks that are looking for on the ISS from 2020
Russian and American experts during the meeting determine the reasons that led to the formation of cracks in the transition chamber (PrK) of the service module "Star" of the Russian segment of the ISS.
This was announced on Wednesday by the chief specialist (RSC) "Energy" (included in).

“Now there is a meeting with American partners, why they [cracks] formed.
The first factor is age, <... > the second is technological solutions that eventually led to cracks, "Spirin said at the XLVII Academic Readings on Cosmonautics in memory of S. P. Korolev.
Video of the day
According to him, the leakage rate for the station is 325 grams per day.
“We stayed until 2019.
When the PrK was closed, we entered this norm, "the expert explained, stressing that if the camera is isolated and opened extremely rarely, then you can continue to fly to the ISS.
According to the presentation presented by Spirin, since the start of work on the search for the leak in September 2020, the damage to the shell has been localized and eliminated in three places.
"As a result of the work, the rate of air leakage from PrK was consistently reduced from 1.14 kg per day to 0.47 kg per day on a permanent basis and to 0.3 kg per day - on a temporary basis," the presentation emphasizes.
In March 2021, cosmonauts Roscosmos and Sergey Kud-Sverchkov carried out repair and restoration work on the housing of the Zvezda module, where they found a crack and a number of possible leaks.
All actions were carried out under the leadership of the Main Operational Group of the ISS Russian Segment and RSC Energia engineers and coordinated with specialists.
In mid-April 2022, a Roscosmos cosmonaut told reporters that air leakage had decreased three times after sealing the cracks.
XLVII Academic Readings on Cosmonautics in memory of S. P. Korolev (Royal Readings) are held at the Bauman Moscow State Technical University from January 24 to 27.

The International Space Station air leak was reportedly fixed after sealing cracks, with a decrease in air leakage noted in mid-April 2022.

The International Space Station air leak was detected on August 30 and was caused by a manufacturing defect in the Soyuz MS-09 spacecraft. It was fixed by Russian cosmonauts using special sealant.

Title:

Content: Soyuz manufacturing defect causes air leak at International Space Station
Kazakhstan News Agency / Astana / September 3 - According to the Russian satellite network reported on the 3rd, Russian rocket space sources said that the manufacturing defect is the cause of the "Soyuz MS-09" spacecraft leak.
There was an air leak on the International Space Station on August 30.
The astronauts examined all the compartments and found tiny cracks in the Soyuz MS-09 spacecraft.
It is located in the living module, not in the return module, so it will not affect the return of the spacecraft to Earth.
It was previously thought that the fissure was the result of a miniature meteorite hitting the spacecraft.
The next night, Russian cosmonauts used special sealant to fill the hole.
The source said: "The cause of the crack in the inner shell of the living module has been identified and it has appeared on Earth.
The person responsible for the fault was identified. "
According to another source, the crew likely sealed the leak with special glue after realizing the mistake, so it was not detected during the pre-launch check and the spacecraft ’ s first two months of orbital flight.
"However, the glue later dried out and was squeezed out, revealing cracks," he said.
The Russian space agency said a special committee would investigate and determine the cause of the accident.

The International Space Station air leak was temporarily fixed with special glue, but the glue dried out and the leak was revealed again, prompting an investigation into the cause of the accident.

An air leak was detected in the International Space Station's Zvezda module, but it poses no risk to the crew or the station. The leak is being monitored by Roscosmos, and its cause is likely related to the aging of the station's structure.

Russia comments on space station leak

A NASA official had previously reported that air loss from the Zvezda module had doubled

Air leaking from a segment of the International Space Station (ISS) poses no risk to its crew or the orbital outpost, the Russian space agency Roscosmos has said.

A NASA official had previously reported that the rate at which air was escaping from the satellite's Russian Zvezda module under certain circumstances had doubled. The situation is under control and being constantly monitored, the Roscosmos told Interfax on Wednesday, when asked about remarks by NASA’s ISS program manager, Joel Montalbano,.

”The aging of the station’s structure and the growing need for repair and maintenance work on board require a significant portion of the crew’s time,” Roscosmos said.

Montalbano mentioned the issue during this week’s briefing on the upcoming SpaceX Crew-8 mission, which is scheduled for launch on Friday.

”There is an area in the aft end of the International Space Station. [There is] a small leak. We’ve seen this leak increase about a week before the recent Progress launch and docking,” he said, referring to a Russian automatic supply freighter.

The volume of lost air has increased to about two pounds a day, compared to a pound a day previously, Montalbano said.

”The hatch is closed in that area. It’s not an impact on Crew-8, but I didn’t want anyone to be surprised, if they hear about that later,” he explained.

The use of the module for retrieving the Progress shipment didn’t pose any issues in terms of the leak, he said. The next opening of the hatch is expected in April. While it’s closed, the rest of the station is “solid.”

Technical issues at the ISS are being reported on a regular basis. Roscosmos has said the age of the station is a key reason why it is developing plans for a new purely Russian-manned orbital structure as an alternative to participating in the international project.

The air leak at the International Space Station was detected over two years ago, and the Russian crew has located the alleged site of the leak in the "Star" module. Roscosmos, the Russian space agency, has announced the plan for repair.

The Russian space agency "Roscosmos" reported a leak of liquid coolant from the Russian part of the International Space Station, but the crew members are not in danger.

Title:

Content: According to the Russian space Agency “Roscosmos ”, from the Russian part of the International space station (ISS) there was a leak of liquid coolant, but the crew members are not threatened.
The leak occurred in the circuit of the external radiator module "Science", which was delivered to the station in 2012.
Roscosmos assured the public that there is no immediate threat to the orbiting laboratory.
Last month, two Russian cosmonauts and an American astronaut returned to Earth after spending a year on the ISS.
Initially, the mission was planned to last only six months.
However, the leak in the Soyuz ship occurred, possibly due to the fall of a small meteorite.
As a result, the new missile was sent without a crew to replace the Soyuz and carry out the rest of the mission.
During their one-year stay, Russian and American crew members worked together amid growing tensions between their countries.
The conflict in Ukraine has strained relations between Washington and Moscow, making cooperation on the ISS a prime example of cooperation.
The leakage of coolant is an unexpected phenomenon, but Roscosmos assured the public that the safety of the crew is not threatened.
Investigations will be conducted to determine the cause of the leak and to prevent similar incidents in the future.

The Russian Zvezda module, which is one of the modules of the Russian segment of the International Space Station, could be permanently isolated due to air leakage.
This was reported by NASA Director for the ISS Robin Gatens, reports “Interfax ”.
She said that the situation with the module does not yet pose a serious threat to the ISS, but in the worst case, is considering the option of complete isolation of the “Star ”.
According to Gatens, NASA and Roscosmos are working together to eliminate air leakage in the module, but due to the small size of the crack, it is difficult to detect detectors and ultrasonic diagnostic tools.
In turn, Roscosmos said that the concern of their colleagues on the ISS “is not justified and is surprising. ”
According to the Russian Ministry, the cosmonauts found the site of the leak at the end of last month.
They promise to fix the problem when the Progress cargo ship delivers materials to the ISS.
Note that in the Russian segment of the space station repeatedly there were problems and other problems.
For the first time, an air leak in one of the modules was detected in September 2019, in October 2020, a crack was detected in the camera of the Zvezda module.
Recall that earlier it was reported that at the end of July 2021, after docking the Russian module “Science ” to the International space station, it turned on the engines, because of which the station began to move chaotically and for a time lost control over the orientation of the ISS.

International Space Station (ISS).
ISS) is a manned orbital station used as a multi-purpose space research complex; it is operated from the end of 1998 to the present (the countries agreed to operate through 2024 inclusive, the extension of the period of operation to 2028, 2030 is being considered).
The ISS is a joint international project involving 14 countries: Russia, the United States, Japan, Canada and members of the European Space Agency Belgium, Germany, Denmark, Spain, Italy, the Netherlands, Norway, France, Switzerland, Sweden (originally the participants were Brazil and the United Kingdom).
The ISS is controlled by the Russian segment from the Space Flight Control Center in Korolev, the American segment from the Lyndon Johnson Flight Control Center in Houston.
The European Columbus and Japanese Kibo modules are controlled by the European Space Agency (Oberpfaffenhofen, Germany) and the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (Tsukuba).
There is a constant exchange of information between the centers.

According to NPR, on June 12, space enthusiasts listening through the NASA website to the air-to-ground connection between Houston and the International Space Station (ISS) were stunned by the data.
They heard a disturbing report that one of the astronauts was experiencing DCS, or decompression sickness.
The ISS is a serious danger on the ISS, where the internal atmosphere is maintained at a pressure of 1.033513 kilograms per square centimeter at sea level to protect astronauts from external vacuum.
The station has many seams and fittings, any of which can leak and pose a threat to the safety of the crew.
Since 2019, NASA and Roscosmos, the Russian space agency, have been tracking a slow leak in the Russian Zvezda module.
Although this leak is not life-threatening, attempts to eliminate it have so far failed.
The DCS emergency announcement made NASA listeners remember the Star leak, but ISS officials quickly said it was all right, announcing to X that the call was just the work of simsup, dispatchers and crew of astronauts undergoing training at SpaceX headquarters in Hawthorne, California, who conducted a simulation and accidentally crossed their transmissions with an air-to-ground line.

MOSCOW (AA): The Russian Space Corporation (Roscosmos) has reported a leak in its module of the International Space Station (ISS).

There was a leak of coolant from the backup radiator circuit of the multipurpose laboratory module “Science,” it said in a statement.

The main thermal control circuit of the module operates normally, providing comfortable conditions in the residential area and there is no danger to the crew and the station, it said.

The Nauka module was launched on July 21, 2021.

An apparent exterior coolant leak from a Russian laboratory module at the International Space Station has been reported by the crew. It follows similar leaks that struck a Russian Soyuz crew ferry craft and a Progress cargo ship within the past year.

This latest incident was reported by Mission Control Center at NASA’s Johnson Space Center in Houston to NASA space station crew member Jasmin Moghbeli around 1 p.m. EDT (1700 UTC).

“We’re seeing flakes outside. Need a crew to go to the cupola, look toward the aft side, we think windows five or six, and confirm any visual flakes,” mission control requested.

Moghbeli, the commander of the SpaceX Crew-7 mission and current ISS flight engineer, said she would go check it out herself. She was asked if she could confirm the point of origin, since it was difficult to see that from the ground perspective.

“Yeah, there’s a leak coming from the radiator on the MLM,” Moghbeli said.

The MLM is the Multipurpose Laboratory Module, also called “Nauka.” It’s the newest module of the space station, having launched on a Russian Proton rocket on July 21, 2021.

“We copy and we think we concur. We just confirmed it with video and they’re seeing it here on the ground,” Mission Control replied. “Jaws [a nickname for Moghbeli], can you please close the cupola shutters?”

Less than a minute later, Moghbeli confirmed the shutters were closed. This was presumably to prevent the surface of the windows being contaminated by the leaking coolant. About 20 minutes after that, ISS Commander and European Space Agency (ESA) astronaut Andreas Mogensen confirmed to Mission Control that the gym and lab shutters on the U.S. side of the space station were also closed.

NASA has not yet made an official comment regarding the leak.

The air leak at the International Space Station was reported by Roscosmos, after Russian cosmonauts Pyotr Dubrov and Anton Shkaplerov discovered the possible last place of air leakage in the Zvezda module.

The air leak at the International Space Station was reported by Russian cosmonauts Peter Dobrov and Anton Shkaplerov, who discovered the possible location of the leak in the Zvezda unit in December.

Cosmonaut Pyotr Dubrov reported a possible air leak at the International Space Station, which was discovered in the Zvezda module.

The International Space Station experienced an air leak from its Zvezda module, with the rate of air loss doubling under certain circumstances, but Roscosmos assured that the situation was under control and posed no risk to the crew or the station.

An air leak was detected at the International Space Station about a week before a recent Progress launch and docking, with the volume of lost air increasing to about two pounds a day, but it does not pose an immediate impact on the crew.

An air leak was detected on the International Space Station, specifically on the Russian segment, about a week before the last launch of Progress and its docking with the station. The leak caused the air in the transition chamber of the Zvezda module to leave twice as fast, but the crew and the station itself were not threatened.

The air leak at the International Space Station did not affect the safety of the crew.

The air leak at the International Space Station was detected in 2019 and has been monitored by astronauts since then. The leak was presumably found in the Zvezda module, and experts have a plan to repair it once the necessary equipment is delivered.

The air leak at the International Space Station decreased three times after repair.

The Progress cargo vehicle will deliver the necessary equipment to fix the air leak in the International Space Station.

The Progress cargo ship will deliver the necessary equipment to fix the air leak at the International Space Station.

The air leak on the International Space Station was first detected in 2019, and the necessary equipment to fix it will be delivered by Progress.

The crew of the International Space Station was not in danger due to the air leak situation.

The International Space Station experienced an air leak from its Zvezda module, with the rate of air loss doubling under certain conditions. However, according to Roscosmos, the situation poses no risk to the crew or the station itself. The leak's cause is attributed to the aging structure of the ISS, and while the specifics of the repair are not mentioned, the situation is being constantly monitored and is under control.
