NASA has placed astronauts on the International Space Station on alert while investigating a leak in the station's Russian module.

Astronauts aboard the International Space Station were ordered to shelter in the SpaceX Dragon capsule due to a worsening air leak in the Russian module. NASA initially issued an evacuation alert but later reversed it after repairs were attempted.

Astronomer José Augusto Matos clarified that leaks in the International Space Station's Russian module are controlled by isolation measures, ensuring crew safety despite their frequency since 2019.
