With the set of the latest launch schedule for the Ax-4 mission, NASA has finished reviewing the back of the Zvezda service module on the ISS. They have confirmed that the station is ready to accept additional astronauts.

They have also been monitoring the pressure in the transfer tunnel section. Previously, the pressure in the area had decreased. Once repaired, astronauts can enter the space station without a problem.
