On Friday, June 5, 2026, NASA directed astronauts aboard the International Space Station to seek shelter following detection of a new leak. The five crew members entered the docked SpaceX capsule while Russian cosmonauts addressed the issue on their segment of the facility. Officials described the move as a precautionary step, according to NASA spokesperson Bethany Stevens. The affected section has experienced prior cracks and leaks, leading Roscosmos to plan more extensive repairs. Both agencies continue investigating the source of the structural problems.
