Relation to ISS
Compared to the International Space Station, SLAOS is about 6 times smaller. Despite having their own space station, SPASEK as an organization regulairly sends a Sekidean astronaut onboard ISS as well.
The first ever interstation flight
On May 9th, 2007, the first ever station-to-station spaceflight happened, as a emergency supply ship left ISS for SLAOS.
At 04:35 PMT, sensors in SLAOS's laboratory module announced a sudden depressurization, and the module was automatically sealed off. Commander at the time, Marꞇin Ȝөʒinov, gave a pre-abandonment order after an alarm was sounded at 04:37 PMT. The crew of four gathered in the emergency escape module, waiting if the leak is in any other module as well. There were no reports of any further leak.
