Cosmonauts stopped the International Space Station's air leak

Cosmonauts have fixed an air leak on the Russian Zvezda module of the International Space Station, ending a five-year problem. The leak, first detected in the fall of 2019, was confirmed as repaired after a recent hermeticity check. The repair team verified the fix this month, according to TASS. While the leak was deemed not life-threatening, the repair comes amid tensions between the US President and SpaceX, NASA's primary contractor, potentially impacting future US astronaut operations.
