🇺🇸🇷🇺🚀 — Astronauts aboard the International Space Station were instructed by NASA to shelter in their spacecraft and prepare for a possible evacuation earlier today as Russian crews worked to address a worsening air leak in the Russian segment of the station, Reuters reports.

➡️ The four members of NASA’s Crew-12 mission were directed to enter their docked SpaceX Crew Dragon and put on spacesuits as a precaution.

➡️ The leak in the Zvezda module increased from roughly one pound of air loss per day to about two pounds per day on Monday, prompting heightened concern while investigations and repair efforts continue.
