NASA postpones launch while it investigates space station leaks
NASA said Thursday it was postponing a launch of private astronauts to the International Space Station while it works with its Russian counterparts to investigate persistent leaks on the orbiting laboratory.
In a statement, NASA said that Russian cosmonauts recently sealed 'some areas of interest' in a module on the Russia side of the space station. As a result, 'the segment is holding pressure,' NASA said. It added that crews also noticed a 'new pressure signature,' and need additional time 'to evaluate the situation and determine whether any additional troubleshooting is necessary.'
