ISS is still leaking air after latest repair efforts fail

SMRTR summary

Despite repair efforts since 2019, the International Space Station continues to leak air from its Russian segment. Roscosmos executive Sergey Krikalev confirmed that while the leak rate has decreased following recent repairs, air is still escaping, prompting ongoing investigation by Russian and US scientists. The crew remains safe, though NASA considers the cracks a "top safety risk," and permanently sealing the affected area would cost Russia a docking port.
