Russian officials are finally taking action to address persistent cracks on the International Space Station. The issue has been ongoing since 2019 and was recently highlighted when astronauts took shelter in a Crew Dragon spacecraft. Sources indicate the problem has now been resolved. The cracks were located on the PrK module connected to the Zvezda service module. Russian astronauts have been trying different methods to fix the issue, including using a sealant called Germetall-1. No further details have been released by NASA or Roscosmos. The resolution marks a significant step in maintaining the safety of the space station.
