The International Space Station air leak intensified, and NASA once ordered astronauts to enter. SpaceX Dragon ship escape.

News from IT House, 5th June, NASA ordered five astronauts on the International Space Station to enter the station in their space suits at 9:04 a.m. American Eastern time. SpaceX Insistence on the manned dragon ship in response to the increasing air leak in the Russian section.

About two hours later, with the Russian side suspending maintenance operations, NASA lifted the safety order and the astronauts returned to resume work on the site.

The NASA spokesman Bethany Stevens confirmed that the five individuals who received the order included four astronauts from the Crew-12 Task Force - NASA cosmonaut Jessica Mayr and Jack Hathaway, ESA astronaut Sophie Adino and Russian National Space Group astronaut Andre Figayev, and a United States astronaut who also entered the dragon ship.

The leak took place in the transit section of the Russian Starboard service. An unnamed senior NASA official revealed that air leaks in the section had remained relatively low in recent months, but had suddenly doubled on Friday.

The Russian cosmonauts on board the station, Kud-Svelčkov and Mikaev, were responsible for the maintenance operations and used saws to cut them in close proximity to possible crack positions. NASA, for its part, expressed disagreement with this maintenance approach, and the Houston Mission Control Centre accordingly ordered the implementation of safe asylum procedures.

After the Russian repairs were suspended, NASA adjusted the instructions. Stevens wrote: “In the light of this development, NASA has instructed the crew of the dragon ship to end the safe haven procedure and return to the International Space Station as planned.” At the same time, she said that NASA looked forward to working with the Russian National Space Group to resolve the spill.

The Russian Space Group subsequently issued a statement confirming that during the asterisk pressure, two leaks had been detected by experts from the Russian sector ' s main operating control team. One of them has been sealed with a sealant and the other is located in the cone of the transition module and preparations are under way to seal. The statement states that “the situation does not threaten the safety of the crew and the system on board, and that the pressure on the station remains stable and at calculated levels”.

The International Space Station currently has seven astronauts. In addition to the four members of the Crew-12 Task Force who arrived in February, the American astronaut Christopher Williams and two other Russian astronauts who arrived last November are on board. NASA and the Russian Space Group have been debating for months the cause and maintenance programme for air leaks in the StarStar server.

IT House cautions that safe asylum procedures have not been common in the history of the space station, often previously triggered by a change in space debris impact risk or a slight leakage rate. For 27 years, however, the International Space Station has not experienced an emergency evacuation of astronauts.
