Cosmonauts Anton Shkaplerov and Pyotr Dubrov found the last leak site in the module compartment, so the partners' concern is not justified, the state corporation noted

MOSCOW, January 18. /tass/. Cosmonauts Anton Shkaplerov and Pyotr Dubrov found the last place of the leak in the compartment of the Zvezda module on the ISS, after the delivery of special means it will be eliminated. The concern of the partners is not justified, Dmitry Strugovets, head of the Roscosmos press service, told reporters on Tuesday.

"At the end of December, Russian cosmonauts Pyotr Dubrov and Anton Shkaplerov found a possible last place of air leakage in the intermediate chamber of the Zvezda service module of the Russian segment of the ISS," Strugovets said.

According to the head of the press service, it is planned to deliver the means of eliminating leaks on the nearest Progress cargo ship, then the astronauts will eliminate the leak. "The concern of our partners is not justified and is surprising," he stressed.

Earlier, some media outlets, citing NASA director for the ISS program Robin Gates, reported that in the worst case scenario, the intermediate chamber of the Zvezda module could be permanently isolated.

In March, Roscosmos cosmonauts Sergey Ryzhikov and Sergey Kud-Sverchkov carried out repair and restoration work on the body of the Zvezda module, where they found a crack and a number of possible leakages. All actions were carried out under the leadership of the Main Operational Control Group of the Russian segment of the ISS and RSC Energia engineers, work on behalf of Roscosmos CEO Dmitry Rogozin was coordinated with NASA specialists.

In mid-April, Roscosmos cosmonaut Ivan Wagner told reporters that the air leak decreased three times after sealing the cracks.
