MOSCOW - The Russian Soyuz spacecraft that will return three astronauts to Earth from the International Space Station this week is leaking helium, Russian space officials said today.

The leak is very minor and does not pose any danger, Vera Medvedkova, spokeswoman for Russian Mission Control, told The Associated Press. NASA also said the leak poses no threat.

"There are absolutely no safety concerns," said Debbie Rahn, a NASA spokeswoman currently in Russia.

Russian Mission Control, NASA and the Russian space agency, Rosaviakosmos, said there is no need to modify the landing, which will be carried on as scheduled on Friday.
