Cosmonauts aboard the space station recently performed inspections of the Zvezda service module's transfer tunnel, sealed some additional areas of interest, and measured the current leak rate. Pressure in the transfer tunnel is now stable. Previously, pressure in this area would have dropped. This could indicate the small leaks have been sealed. Teams are also considering the stable pressure could be the result of a small amount of air flowing into the transfer tunnel across the hatch seal from the main part of space station. By changing pressure in the transfer tunnel and monitoring over time, teams are evaluating the condition of the transfer tunnel and the hatch seal between the space station and the back of Zvezda.
