Astronauts Return to the ISS After an Air Leak Repair

Five astronauts aboard the International Space Station (ISS) used a “safe haven” procedure during a repair attempt. The action was taken after a Russian effort to fix part of the station caused concerns about an air leak. The issue was linked to the tunnel area. When the leak risk appeared, the crew moved to shelter locations as a precaution. This helped protect them while technicians worked. Once the repair team confirmed the situation was stable, the astronauts came back to their regular work areas. They then resumed daily tasks on the ISS. The report says the shelter plan was temporary and focused on safety during the repair work.
