The recently reported air pressure leak at the International Space Station was not caused by a micrometeorite, as initially believed, and the Russian space agency is not ruling out the possibility of sabotage.
The hole that caused the International Space Station air pressure leak was discovered to be made by a drill. Investigations are now underway on the incident.
The International Space Station recently experienced a decline in air pressure, which is not good for a vessel that is in space. After a day of searching, a 2mm hole was discovered in the Russian section of the ISS. It may be small, but if it was left unfixed, all the air in the ISS would have escaped in only 18 days.
Amusingly, the first thing that was done to fix the damage was for European Space Agency astronaut Alexander Gerst to plug the hole with his finger. The hole was later given a more effective, albeit still temporary, solution of epoxy and duct tape.
Good old expoxy and duct tape. To read more, click here.
