Pressure leak detected aboard the International Space Station
Source: CBS News
A "minute pressure leak" was detected aboard the International Space Station Wednesday evening. NASA said in a status update that the lab's six-member crew is in no danger as troubleshooting continues.
The agency's post indicates the leak is located in the Russian segment of the station, and social media posts based on monitored air-to-ground transmissions indicate it may be in the Soyuz MS-09 ferry ship docked at the Rassvet module.
The Soyuz MS-09 carried Sergey Prokopyev, German astronaut Alexander Gerst and NASA astronaut Serena Auñón-Chancellor into orbit June 6.
The Russian space agency Roscosmos has not released an update.

This instance, the problem is with the Soyuz Spacecraft.
Easy fix with Epoxy Sealant.
