The International Space Station has paused the leak repair, and astronauts have ended their sheltering.

On the 5th, Bettany Stevens, the news secretary of NASA, stated that the International Space Station's Russian segment, which has a long-standing crack and air leakage problem, was scheduled for maintenance that day. However, the Russian space agency has temporarily suspended the operation in order to further evaluate the measurement results and related data. During the maintenance, 5 astronauts took refuge in the docking Dragon spacecraft at the space station. Ground staff has informed them to end the state of refuge and return to the space station to resume normal work.
