On Wednesday, Russia’s space agency reported a recurrence of an air leak issue in its segment of the International Space Station.

However, they reassured that the current problem does not pose any threat to the crew onboard.

“Indeed, specialists are detecting an air leak on board the ISS,” the press service of Roscosmos said on Wednesday, per a translation by Interfax.

“There is no threat to crewmembers or the station itself,” Roscosmos added.

Space officials mentioned that Russian crew members are consistently engaged in identifying and resolving potential leaks on the International Space Station (ISS), as reported by the state media agency TASS, Business Insider reported.

This revelation follows closely after Joel Montalbano, the National American Space Agency ISS Program Manager, disclosed an air leak in Russia’s Zvezda life support module during a press briefing for the new Crew-8 mission on the same day.

Montalbano noted that the leak, although currently small, is expanding.
