Internationale Raumstation: ISS-Besatzung muss vorübergehend Schutz suchen

Roskosmos teilte mit, dass ihre Experten zwei Lecks an Bord der Internationalen Raumstation entdeckt hätten, für die Besatzung jedoch keine unmittelbare Gefahr bestehe. Das erste Leck sei rasch abgedichtet worden, und derzeit liefen die Vorbereitungen zur Abdichtung des zweiten. „Die Sicherheit der Besatzung und der Bordsysteme ist nicht gefährdet, der Druck an Bord der ISS ist stabil und wird auf dem vorgesehenen Niveau gehalten.“

Die NASA und Roskosmos – die beiden Hauptbetreiber der Station – streiten seit Monaten über die Ursache und mögliche Reparaturmaßnahmen für kleine Luftlecks im Servicemodul Swesda.

Astronauts on International Space Station take shelter in SpaceX Dragon as cosmonauts try to fix air leak

The four astronauts of SpaceX‘s Crew-12 mission are NASA‘s Jessica Meir and Jack Hathaway, Sophie Adenot of the European Space Agency and cosmonaut Andrey Fedyaev. They arrived at the International Space Station (ISS) in mid-February for a six-month stay.

They took shelter today in Crew-12‘s Dragon capsule „Freedom,“ along with NASA‘s Williams, who arrived at the station in late November aboard a Russian Soyuz spacecraft.

Williams flew with two crewmates on that Soyuz — cosmonauts Sergey Kud-Sverchkov and Sergei Mikaev. They‘re presumably the ones who attempted the PrK leak fix today. (Stevens‘ X post did not mention who performed the repair or what exactly the operation entailed.)

Astronauts briefly take shelter during repair to fix leak on the International Space Station

NASA on Friday temporarily ordered astronauts to take shelter during repairs to fix a fresh leak aboard the International Space Station.

The five astronauts moved into the SpaceX capsule that is docked at the station while cosmonauts worked to fix the leak, which is on the Russian side of the orbiting laboratory.

China Built The Most Advanced Space Station In Just 2 Years | Tiangong

Apr 30, 2026

China was rejected from the International Space Station in 2011 when the US Congress passed a law banning NASA from any cooperation with China‘s space program. Most nations would have accepted that and moved on. China did something completely different. They decided to build their own space station from scratch, alone, without any international help, and they finished it in just 2 years. The result is Tiangong, the Heavenly Palace, a 3-module space station orbiting 400 kilometers above Earth that is packed with technology so advanced it makes the ISS look like it belongs in a museum. From the world‘s first space microwave to smart circadian lighting, resistance band uniforms, and a robotic telescope 300 times wider than Hubble, what China quietly built up there is one of the most remarkable engineering achievements in human history.

Shenzhou XXIII astronauts enter Tiangong space station

The Shenzhou XXIII crew has entered the Tiangong space station and met with the outgoing Shenzhou XXI astronauts.

The new arrivals — mission commander and spaceflight engineer Colonel Zhu Yangzhu, spacecraft pilot Colonel Zhang Zhiyuan, and science payload specialist Lai Ka-ying — were launched by a Long March 2F carrier rocket at 11:08 pm Sunday from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center in northwestern China.

After flying about three and a half hours, their spaceship docked with the front port on the Tianhe core module, the central piece of the Chinese space station, at 2:45 am Monday, according to the China Manned Space Agency.

Vorbereitungen auf Mondmission: China schickt drei Astronauten zu Weltraumstation

(May 24, 2026)

Drei Raumfahrer sind in Richtung der chinesischen Raumstation „Tiangong“ gestartet. Das Raumschiff „Shenzhou-23“ mit den drei Astronauten an Bord hob vom Weltraumbahnhof Jiuquan im chinesischen Teil der Wüste Gobi ab. Ins All befördert wurde die Kapsel von der Trägerrakete „Langer Marsch 2-F“.

Im Rahmen der Mission soll erstmals ein chinesischer Raumfahrer ein ganzes Jahr lang auf der Raumstation bleiben – ihre dreiköpfige Besatzung wird üblicherweise alle sechs Monate ausgetauscht. Dies wird von Peking als wesentlicher Schritt in den chinesischen Bestrebungen betrachtet, bis zum Jahr 2030 Menschen zum Mond zu schicken.

Shenzhou-12 separates from space station core module

The three astronauts have lived and worked in Tianhe for 90 days, the longest stay in space by Chinese astronauts, according to the China Manned Space Agency (CMSA).

China ready to cooperate with Russia in operating its future orbital station

„Lunar studies are one of the guidelines in our cooperation,“ Li said. „As far as China’s orbital station is concerned, it is in the construction phase and will be completed by 2022. We intend to cooperate with many countries, including Russia, Germany and France on this project.“
