"Out of an abundance of caution", Nasa has directed all four of the agency's SpaceX Crew-12 members and a Nasa astronaut "to assume an elevated safety posture in the Dragon spacecraft while the repair is under way", it adds
NASA directs its ISS crew members to board spacecraft amid leak repair attempt
NASA directed five astronauts to board a SpaceX Dragon spacecraft as Roscosmos cosmonauts attempt to address a leak problem on the International Space Station, NASA press secretary Bethany Stevens said in a post on X Friday.
The cracks and leaks on a portion of the space station operated by Russia, known as the Zvezda service module, have been a known concern for some time. But Stevensâ post suggested the situation had potentially worsened.
âFollowing new leaks, Roscosmos has elected to proceed with a more extensive repair operation on Friday, June 5,â Stevens said in the post. âOut of an abundance of caution, NASA has directed all four of the agencyâs SpaceX Crew-12 members and NASA astronaut Chris Williams to assume an elevated safety posture in the Dragon spacecraft while the repair is underway.â

International Space Station astronauts under evacuation orders
Nasa says Russian crew trying to fix worsening air leak in its portion of orbital laboratory
Astronauts onboard the International Space Station have been ordered to shelter in their spacecraft and prepare for potential evacuation as a Russian crew attempts to fix a worsening leak of air in its portion of the orbital laboratory, Nasa has said.
The four astronauts of Nasa’s Crew-12 mission on the station – two US astronauts, a French astronaut and a Russian cosmonaut – received orders from Nasa mission control at 9.04am ET (2pm BST) on Friday to enter their Crew Dragon spacecraft docked to the station and don their spacesuits in case the air leak warranted an emergency evacuation, a Nasa official said.
