NASA and the Russian agency Roscosmos will have to find and repair a small leak in the International Space Station where the spacecraft is losing air little by little. During this weekend of week astronauts aboard the station will take refuge in el module Zvezdá while isolating different parts of the ship to try to find the leak.
The space agency realized something was wrong in September 2019, when they discovered that the International Space Station was losing air at a faster rate thanand it normal, although the pressure and stability of the ship have not been compromised thanks to the surge tanks edge.
Astronauts Chris Cassidy, Anatoly Ivanishin e Ivan Vagner will be in charge of monitoring pressure on the different modules as they are isolated until find the aforementioned escape.
It is not the first time that a problem of this type appears on the International Space Station. In fact, the controversy around the hole that appeared in the ISS in 2018, where it was even considered the possibility of sabotage.
We will have to wait until next week to know the results of the investigation on this air leak.
