TL;DR Summary

Air is leaking from the aft end of a Russian module on the International Space Station, but NASA assures that it has no impact on crew safety or vehicle operations. The leak, which is about three feet in length, has been increasing in volume and is being addressed in collaboration with Russian colleagues. This is not the first time leaks in this part of the Russian service module have had to be repaired, and recent leaks from Russian hardware have caused disruptions to ISS operations. Experts suggest that Russia's war on Ukraine has damaged cooperation in space, with Russia signaling its intention to develop its own space station and leave the ISS after 2028.
