This resulted in a pressure leak. The hole has been identified and fixed by space station crew.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Russian media recently reported that General Director Rogozin said the hole was not a manufacturing defect. Ruling out a manufacturing defect indicates that this is an isolated issue which does not categorically affect future production.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This conclusion does not necessarily mean the hole was created intentionally or with mal-intent. NASA and Roscosmos are both investigating the incident to determine the cause. The International Space Station Program is tentatively planning a spacewalk in November to gather more information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On October 11, American Astronaut Nick Hague and Russian Cosmonaut Alexey Ovchinin will launch to the International Space Station on a Russian Soyuz MS-10 spacecraft from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan. Administrator Bridenstine is scheduled to attend the launch and plans to meet with Mr. Rogozin. This will be their first in-person meeting. They had a telephone call on September 12 during which they discussed the International Space Station leak.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For more information about the ISS, visit:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\nhttps:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/station\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Megan Powers<br>\nHeadquarters, Washington<br>\n202-358-2268<br>\n<a href=\"mailto:megan.k.powers@nasa.gov\">megan.k.powers@nasa.gov<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Below is NASA\u2019s statement about the International Space Station Leak Investigation: On Aug. 29, 2018 a small hole was discovered on the International Space Station.
