On June 5, astronauts aboard the International Space Station briefly shelter in a docked SpaceX Crew Dragon capsule after reports of an air leak on the Russian segment of the orbiting laboratory. NASA directs the crew to move to the Dragon spacecraft as cosmonauts work to address the leak in the Russian module. Multiple outlets report that the sheltering period is temporary and that the crew prepares for possible next steps, including the possibility of evacuation, while troubleshooting continues. After the situation is assessed and repairs progress, the crew returns to normal operations aboard the ISS.
The reports focus on the shelter-in-place response and the effort to locate and fix the persistent leak. Additional details about the cause, location, and assessment of the airflow issue are not fully established in the provided accounts, and further information is expected as agencies and partners continue their investigation and review of what triggered the leak response.
