NASA highlights urgent concerns about a worsening air leak on the International Space Station, posing risks to crew safety. The issue links to cracks in the Russian-built PrK transfer compartment. NASA attributes the cracks to mechanical stress and material weaknesses while Roscosmos cites high cyclic fatigue from microvibrations. Both agencies implement mitigation measures with NASA involving independent experts to identify the root cause. Operational changes, including closing hatches during specific procedures, aim to manage risks. The incident raises renewed concerns about the ageing ISS infrastructure, which has supported missions for over 25 years.
