After about two hours of sheltering in their spacecraft and preparing for potential evacuation, the four members of SpaceX Crew-12 and a fifth Nasa astronaut were instructed by Nasa to return to the International Space Station, a Nasa spokesperson said on Friday.
“Roscosmos has paused Friday’s structural repair efforts inside the Zvezda service module transfer tunnel, known as PrK, as more measurements and data is assessed,” Bethany Stevens, a spokesperson for Nasa, posted on X.
“Given this development, NASA has instructed the crew members inside the Dragon spacecraft to end the safe haven procedures and return to planned operations aboard the International Space Station. We look forward to working with Roscosmos on a collaborative approach to address the leaks.”
