The International Space Station (ISS) is facing a critical safety concern as a persistent air leak in the Russian-controlled Zvezda module, first detected in 2019, worsens. Located in the Russian segment of the ISS, the leak has sparked tension between NASA and Russia’s Roscosmos over the issue’s severity and the need for urgent action. Experts warn that the air loss, if unaddressed, could jeopardize both crew safety and the station’s long-term functionality, raising questions about the future of international cooperation in space.
