NASA instructed its astronauts on the International Space Station (ISS) to seek temporary refuge in a Crew Dragon spacecraft ten days ago due to a leak in a Russian module. Since that incident, there has been no further public information from NASA or Roscosmos. However, sources indicate that the issue has been resolved. The cracks were located in the PrK module, which is part of the Russian Zvezda service module, and have been a concern since 2019. Russian astronauts have been using a sealant called Germetall-1 to address the problem.
