Leaks are affecting a key part of the International Space Station. NASA and Russia’s space agency, Roscosmos, are not seeing eye to eye about the level of risk.

Some of the main modules of the International Space Station are nearly a quarter-century old. "That's considered classic for a car," said Bennett Maruca, an astronomer and physicist at the University of Delaware.

NASA has concerns about the structural integrity of the Russian module and the "possibility of a catastrophic failure," per ISS Advisory Committee chair Bob Cabana

Officials with NASA are at odds with their counterparts at the Russian space agency Roscosmos over the severity of a leak aboard the International Space Station.

This fall, NASA released photos of astronaut Suni Williams—who is currently living on the International Space Station (ISS)—that triggered an onslaught of tabloid and social media rumors speculating about her health.

A section of the Russian-controlled International Space Station (ISS) has been leaking for several years, letting pressure and air escape. The leak has recently gotten worse, raising questions about both the crew’s safety and the orbiting laboratory’s long-term sustainability.

The station has been leaking air for five years, and NASA is concerned that this might indicate a potential failure in the structural integrity of the International Space Station.

NASA fears there could be a catastrophic failure on the International Space Station with the American agency fearing a Russian-designed part of the platform could be compromised an

The agency’s top medical official was responding to rumors that Suni Williams had lost an unusual amount of weight during an extended stay in orbit.

A recent report out last month from NASA’s Office of the Inspector General highlighted some of the big challenges to keeping the ISS flying safely until 2030.

NASA and Roscosmos clash over the worsening ISS air leak, raising crew safety concerns and highlighting unresolved technical issues.
