Live coverage: Space station crew investigating tiny pressure leak

Crew members on the International Space Station are investigating a tiny pressure leak on the Russian side of the outpost. In a statement released early Thursday, NASA said ground controllers in Houston and Moscow first noticed signs of a "minute leak" on the space station around 7 p.m. EDT (2300 GMT) Wednesday. "As flight controllers monitored their data, the decision was made to allow the Expedition 56 crew to sleep since they were in no danger," NASA said in a statement. "When the crew was awakened at its normal hour this morning, flight controllers at Mission Control in Houston and at the Russian Mission Control Center outside Moscow began working procedures to try to determine the location of the leak."
