ISS astronauts in evacuation mode over worsening air leak
· RTE.ieAstronauts on board the International Space Station were ordered by NASA to shelter in their spacecraft and prepare for potential evacuation as a Russian crew attempts to fix a worsening leak of air on its portion of the orbital laboratory, NASA said.
The four astronauts of NASA's Crew-12 mission on the station - two US astronauts, a French astronaut and Russian cosmonaut - got orders from NASA mission control to enter their Crew Dragon spacecraft docked to the station and don their spacesuits in case the air leak warrants an emergency evacuation, a NASA official said.
