But is forcing the NASA crew to spend yet another night in the Russian segment of the station.
The reports come after NASA evacuated its segment of the station late last week, directing its crew to spend the weekend in the Russian segment while the space agency tries to identify and patch the source of the leak.

It said that it first became suspicious that air was leaking at an elevated level back in September 2019, though it wasn’t able to confirm the issue until recently due to the slow rate of pressure loss.

“In space, there’s nothing scarier than a leak, so let’s hope they find it soon,” they said.
