“After the analysis and the search for the place of air leakage from the atmosphere of the ISS, it was established that this place is located in the service module“ Zvezda ”, which houses the scientific equipment,” the TASS state corporation quotes.
The leak is localized in the working compartment of the service module.
"A search is underway for a specific location of a possible leak," they added.
Roscosmos clarified that the leak does not threaten the crew.
“In the coming days, the reason for the decrease in atmospheric pressure will be localized and the tightness will be restored,” the press service noted.
In mid-September, a spokesman for the Roskosmos press service reported that a minor ammonia leak detected in the US segment of the ISS did not affect the safety of the crew and the Russian segment of the station.
