The astronauts and cosmonauts on board the International Space Station (ISS) have been asked to prepare for a possible evacuation due to an air leak.
According to the US space agency NASA, the leak is in the Russian segment of the ISS. The crew members were asked to retreat to their spacecraft.
NASA spokeswoman Bethany Stevens wrote on the social media platform Xthat such problems are not new in the ISS. The affected part of the station has been suffering from “cracks and leaks for some time”. These cracks have always been a concern that NASA has been closely monitoring.
