A Russian-controlled segment of the International Space Station (ISS) is leaking, causing air and pressure loss. First identified in 2019, the leak has worsened this year, drawing serious concerns from NASA about the module's structural integrity and the risk of catastrophic failure. While Roscosmos downplays the threat and continues patching leaks, NASA believes the situation is dangerous for the crew. The agencies disagree on the severity of the problem, with NASA urging independent experts to assess the issue and find a resolution. This dispute marks the most critical issue facing the aging space station.
