"Russian Space Station Module Experiences Coolant Leak"
TL;DR Summary
An apparent coolant leak has been reported from the Russian laboratory module, Nauka, at the International Space Station (ISS). The crew observed flakes outside the module, prompting NASA's Mission Control to request confirmation from crew member Jasmin Moghbeli. Moghbeli confirmed the leak was coming from the radiator on the MLM module and closed the cupola shutters to prevent contamination. The gym and lab shutters on the U.S. side of the ISS were also closed. NASA has not yet provided an official comment on the incident.
