Mir’s Leak May Be Plugged
Cosmonauts Sergei Zaletin and Alexander Kalery have found at least one air leak in the Mir Space Station after two weeks of tests on board the Russian laboratory.
Although ground crews are checking to see if additional leaks still could exist on Mir, the preliminary data show that they may have stopped the air from escaping the station.

Meanwhile, the crew is proceeding with planned pressure checks inside the module.
