NASA directed five ISS crew members to shelter in a SpaceX Dragon spacecraft after detecting air leaks in the Russian segment. The leaks occurred in a 43-foot-long transfer tube adjacent to the Zvezda module. Russian astronauts repaired one leak and chose more expensive repairs for the other. NASA spokesperson Bethany Stevens confirmed the decision on June 5, 2026. Crew members returned to normal duties after a few hours.
NASA ordered astronauts on the International Space Station to shelter in their spacecraft and prepare for possible evacuation after a worsening air leak in the Russian Zvezda service module's transfer tunnel.
