An air leak has occurred on the International Space Station and «out of an extreme precaution, NASA has ordered all four SpaceX Crew-12 crew members and NASA astronaut Chris Williams to assume an elevated safety position inside the Dragon spacecraft during repairs».
NASA spokesperson Bethany Stevens made the announcement.
The precautionary measure of transferring the astronauts to the shuttles, as required by protocol in cases like this , was dictated by the air leak already detected in recent days on the Russian segment of the ISS, in the PrK tunnel near the Zvezda module.
