There’s Another Leak on the ISS, but NASA Is Not Saying Much About It
- NASA and Axiom Space have delayed the Axiom Mission 4 launch to the International Space Station due to the discovery of a new air leak in the Zvezda module, part of the station’s Russian segment, which is currently under investigation.
- This delay follows earlier postponements caused by weather and a Falcon 9 liquid oxygen leak, while NASA and Roscosmos continue investigating the leak amid past safety concerns.
- Cosmonauts aboard the ISS performed inspections, sealed additional areas, and measured the leak rate, with the affected segment currently holding pressure and astronauts not in danger.
- The Ax-4 mission would include four private astronauts from India, Poland, and Hungary, commanded by former NASA astronaut Peggy Whitson, with no new launch date yet announced.
- The postponement allows NASA and Roscosmos more time to evaluate the pressure issue on the aging ISS module, which remains scheduled for decommission by 2030 and potential replacement by private stations.
