Astronauts return to ISS after sheltering during air leak repair attempt
Astronauts onboard the International Space Station (ISS) have returned to their normal activities after sheltering in place during an air leak repair attempt. The incident took place on Wednesday when astronauts detected a minor air leak in the Russian Zvezda module. The crew, comprised of both Russian and American astronauts, followed safety protocols by sealing off the affected area and moving to the Russian segment of the ISS.
Russian space agency Roscosmos issued a statement confirming the incident and the successful repair of the air leak. They emphasized that the safety of the crew was never compromised during the process. NASA also released a statement commending the astronauts for their quick response to the situation.
The repair work involved using a special epoxy sealant to patch the leak temporarily, allowing the astronauts to return to their living quarters. Further inspections will be conducted to ensure the integrity of the repair and the overall safety of the ISS.
The astronauts are now back to their regular duties, conducting experiments and maintenance tasks on the space station. Both Roscosmos and NASA have expressed confidence in the resilience of the ISS and its ability to support the ongoing mission objectives.
