NASA: in the worst case, the Russian Zvezda module on the ISS can be isolated

NASA and Roscosmos are working to eliminate a leak in the Zvezda module of the Russian segment of the International Space Station (ISS), Interfax reports, referring to the statement of the director of the American Space Agency for the ISS program Robin Gates.

The head admitted that in the worst case, the "Star" could be isolated. "In the worst case scenario, we can permanently isolate this module," she said.

Gaitens added that "the leak is so small that it is difficult to detect it with detectors and ultrasound diagnostic tools." According to her, this situation does not pose a danger to the station crew.

Commenting on the words of Geitens, Roscosmos, according to TASS, said that at the end of December, Russian cosmonauts Pyotr Dubrov and Anton Shkaplerov discovered a possible last place of air leakage in the intermediate chamber of the Zvezda, the means to eliminate which are planned to be delivered on the nearest Progress truck.

"The concern of our partners is not justified and is surprising," the state corporation summed up.

In December 2021 edition SpaceNews, citing the review of the associate administrator for NASA's space operations Kathy Lueders, included in the report of the office of the inspector General of NASA, reported that, in the worst case, the "flowing" of the intermediate chamber service module Zvezda, the Russian segment of the International space station (ISS) will have to block, which will result in loss of access to a docking port for spacecraft "Progress" and "Union".
