Why Is NASA Concerned About Leaks in the Russian ISS Module? | N18G

Increasing air leaks in a section of the International Space Station (ISS) controlled by Russia are raising safety concerns. The leaks, first detected in the Zvezda module in 2019, have worsened, leading to disagreements between NASA and Roscosmos over their severity. According to the CNN report, NASA talks about risks of structural failure, while Roscosmos downplays the threat but struggles to provide conclusive evidence. The teams took security measures by closing the affected area except for necessary access situations. This number highlights the challenges of the aging ISS, which is scheduled to be decommissioned by 2030. NASA plans to shift its operations to commercial space stations but faces uncertainty about preparing for the transition.
