What would happen if there was a breach in the containment of air?

[ReelNASA]

@LightRP The crew routinely trains for emergencies such as that. Depending on the severity of the leak and amount of time available, they would close the hatches between the modules and evacuate to the safety of their Soyuz spacecraft.

Tell us how the space station works, the process of adding a new wing if a new one was needed or a country wanted to get involved. What about food and sleeping patterns? What are some of the safety features, what about passing time when bored or just lots of random stuff.

@IElRedI You can follow along with the daily activities of the station crew by watching the ISS Update videos we post to this channel. Some of your other questions can be answered if you check out the ISS website.

@EthanNin0 I believe VASIMR is scheduled to be tested on the ISS.
