NASA has concerns about the structural integrity of the Russian module and the "possibility of a catastrophic failure," per ISS Advisory Committee chair Bob Cabana

This fall, NASA released photos of astronaut Suni Williams—who is currently living on the International Space Station (ISS)—that triggered an onslaught of tabloid and social media rumors speculating about her health.

A section of the Russian-controlled International Space Station (ISS) has been leaking for several years, letting pressure and air escape. The leak has recently gotten worse, raising questions about both the crew’s safety and the orbiting laboratory’s long-term sustainability.

Leaks are affecting a key part of the International Space Station. NASA and Russia’s space agency, Roscosmos, are not seeing eye to eye about the level of risk.

The space station having a size equal to a football field must remain pressurised and filled with breathable gases at all times.

NASA and Russian officials disagree on the cause of a worsening leak on the ISS, raising safety concerns for astronauts.

NASA and Roscosmos clash over the worsening ISS air leak, raising crew safety concerns and highlighting unresolved technical issues.

Crew-8 commander Matthew Dominick says NASA is carefully making decisions for astronaut safety while the ISS deals with a leak, and spacesuit issues, related to aging hardware.

NASA and Russia's Roscosmos cannot agree on how dangerous the leaks in the Zvezda module may be to the station. While Russia believes the risk is low, NASA is reportedly concerned the leaks could lead to a catastrophic structural failure.

NASA, the US space agency, is worried an air leak at the International Space Station could lead to a catastrophic failure. Spacenews.com says NASA and its Russian equivalent Roscosmos disagree over the cause of the leak in the Russian part of the space station,
