The aging ISS is plagued by a dangerous air leak.
The leak was confirmed by NASA last week, another instance of a recurring problem that the agency thought it had resolved earlier this year.
The New York Post reported:
“The 27-year-old orbiting space station has been plagued with air leaks since 2019 in a part of the station called the PrK module, a narrow transfer tunnel or vestibule on the Russian segment.
In January, NASA announced that the PrK module had finally reached a ‘stable condition’ after multiple inspections and sealant applications. But on May 1, the issue returned.”
NASA confirmed a ‘slow pressure drop’ within the PrK module, noticed as Russian cosmonauts unloaded cargo.
