+== Russian Satellites Are Jamming GPS Signals, Study Says ==
+The interference happened mostly during business hours, suggesting scheduled operations.

+While sifting through data collected by GPS monitoring stations, a team of researchers noticed a mysterious pattern. Over the past seven years, the team documented 75 days on which there was a sudden drop in signal strength that occurred simultaneously across Europe. A thorough investigation traced the disruptions to a small constellation of Russian satellites, which may be jamming GPS signals on purpose.
+A recent investigation led by Todd Humphreys from the University of Texas, Austin, found that the Russian satellite Kosmos 2546 may have been used to jam GPS signals on a continental scale as part of scheduled operations. While the purpose of the signal interference is not yet clear, the findings could have bigger implications for electronic warfare in global conflicts. The findings have not yet undergone peer review, but the researchers have submitted the paper for review to NAVIGATION, the journal of the Institute of Navigation.

+== NASA’s Crew Safety Alert Exposed a Bigger ISS Leak Problem ==
+A risky plan to repair the air leak was put on hold as it might have compromised the structure of the Russian module.

+The dreaded air leak on the International Space Station (ISS) has gotten so bad that Russian cosmonauts were preparing to use a saw to access a suspected leak area in the Zvezda module’s transfer tunnel.
+NASA released an update on the long-running leak from the Russian segment of the space station, revealing details of the plan that prompted five crew members to shelter in place on Friday, June 5. According to NASA, Roscosmos had come up with a plan that involved cutting a bracket to better access an area that may have been contributing to the leak.
+This new strategy “could have resulted in elevated risk to the structure in the area,” NASA wrote. The Russian space agency put its plan on hold for now to gather more data and further inspect the suspected areas.
