There’s Another Leak on the ISS, but NASA Is Not Saying Much About It
- NASA and Axiom Space delayed the June 12 launch of the Ax-4 mission to the ISS after detecting a new pressure anomaly in the Zvezda service module, located within the Russian segment of the station.
- The launch delay comes after previous postponements caused by strong winds and an issue involving a leak in the rocket's oxidizer system that required inspection and repairs.
- Cosmonauts recently inspected and sealed leak areas in the Zvezda module, measured the leak rate, and confirmed the segment is now holding pressure.
- Peggy Whitson will command the roughly two-week mission with three private astronauts, conducting over 60 experiments onboard the ISS.
- The postponement allows NASA and Roscosmos to further evaluate the ISS’s aging Russian segment, which has had ongoing leaks since 2019 and was flagged as a top safety risk.
