💨 Abstract

An unusual heat wave in Washington D.C. has persisted for three days, including closing down the Washington Monument. Meanwhile, a private astronaut mission called "Ax-4" embarked. However, the International Space Station, operated jointly by NASA and Roscosmos, has faced escalating pressure due to a series of air leaks originating from a Russian module, Zvezda. Despite initial fixes, a new potential leak in an interior wall is causing concern, leading to possible air loss across the entire station.
