NASA instructed crew members aboard the International Space Station \u200c(ISS) to return to planned operations after Russia’s space \u200bagency Roscosmos paused Friday’s structural \u200brepair efforts inside the Zvezda service \u200bmodule.<\/p>\n

“Given this development, NASA has instructed \u2060the crew members inside the Dragon spacecraft to end \u200cthe safe haven procedures and return to planned operations aboard the International \u200bSpace Station,” \u2060the U.S. agency’s spokesperson Bethany Stevens said in \u2060a post on X.<\/p>\n

Roscosmos said \u200cits experts had detected two leaks aboard the ISS, but that \u200bthere was no immediate threat to the crew. <\/p>\n

“When the transition \u200bchamber compartment of the \u2060Zvezda module was \u2060pressurized … \u200cspecialists from the main operational control group for the Russian segment of the ISS detected \u2060a leak from the spacecraft,” it said in a statement.<\/p>\n

The first leak \u200cwas fixed with a hermetic compound. Preparations are underway to seal the second \u200bleak, located on the conical \u2060part of the transition chamber compartment, \u2060Roscosmos said.<\/p>\n

“The situation does not \u2060threaten \u2060the safety \u200bof the crew and onboard systems \u2014 the \u200bpressure \u2060on board the ISS is stable and maintained at the calculated level.”<\/p>\n

Earlier Friday, NASA ordered astronauts aboard the International \u200cSpace Station to shelter \u200bin their spacecraft \u2060and \u2060prepare \u200cfor potential evacuation as repairs were underway.<\/p>\n

The four \u2060astronauts of NASA’s Crew-12 mission at the station \u2014 \u200ctwo U.S. astronauts, a French astronaut and a Russian cosmonaut \u2014 got orders from \u200bmission control at \u20609:04 a.m. ET \u2060to enter their Crew Dragon spacecraft \u2060docked \u2060to \u200bthe station and don their spacesuits \u200bin \u2060case the leak warrants an emergency evacuation, a NASA official said. <\/p>\n

NASA and Roscosmos, the station’s two primary operators, have debated for months \u200bover the cause of and potential fixes for small air \u2060leaks aboard the Russian Zvezda service module, a key \u2060structure of the football field-sized laboratory. <\/p>\n

“We continue to work with our Russian counterparts, along with the rest of the international community that supports the space station, to arrive at a more permanent resolution,” Stevens said in an earlier post<\/a> on X.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Listen to this article Estimated 2 minutes The audio version of this article is generated by AI-based technology.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":717072,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[49,48,66],"class_list":["post-717071","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-science","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-science"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/717071","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=717071"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/717071\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/717072"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=717071"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=717071"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=717071"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
