NASA orders astronauts to take shelter after new leak aboard the International Space Station

NASA says it has ordered astronauts aboard the International Space Station to take shelter after a new leak was detected. The five astronauts moved to the docked SpaceX capsule on Friday while cosmonauts worked to fix the leak on the Russian side of the orbiting laboratory. NASA says this was done “out of an abundance of caution.” That part of the space station has suffered from cracks and leaks over the years. NASA said Roscosmos decided on a more extensive repair after fresh leaks were found.
