NASA's inspector general report reveals an alarming increase in the leak rate from a small Russian module of the International Space Station, raising safety concerns.
Despite years of investigation, the underlying cause of the leak in the PrK module remains unidentified, casting doubt on future safety protocols.
NASA's response to the leak includes closing the hatch to mitigate risks, which may eventually restrict docking capability on the space station.
Although the concern has been downplayed publicly, the issue has reached the highest alert level on NASA's risk assessment matrix.
