Air leaks caused NASA to impose safety measures
A worsening air leak aboard the International Space Station that led to five astronauts being ordered by NASA to take shelter in their spacecraft has been reversed.
NASA now says there's no immediate threat to the crew or the the systems.
The astronauts were informed of the situation early Friday morning. They were told to enter their SpaceX-built Crew Dragon spacecraft docked to the station, according to NASA spokesperson Bethany Stevens.
NASA reversed its order about two hours later and told the astronauts they could return to the station as the agency and its Russian counterparts examined the rate of leaking air and it was confirmed there was no immediate danger to any of the people onboard or the systems telemetry.
