Emergency evacuation ISS space station

Yesterday, a group of three astronauts working on the International Space Station (ISS) had to evacuate to the connecting Russian Soyuz, fearing that the station might crash a fragment in the universe.

Astronauts are now in danger and leave the Soyuz to leave for the ISS station to work. They only evacuated to this ship for 11 minutes to escape if there was a problem on the station. NASA space agency said that information about the fragile threat is too late to control the station out of danger.

According to NASA spokesman Josh Byerly, ISS threat debris is only 2.54 cm long and quickly flies off the station's active area. It is not possible to determine the source of this alarm fragment. The risk of a collision on the ISS is very low, but the astronauts are still ordered to evacuate to the Russian ship in case of uncertainty. This event occurred just a month after two Russian and American satellites crashed into the sky over Siberia.

Soyuz (Union) is a famous Russian safe spacecraft, which has been operating steadily for the past four decades. Through many improvements in Soyuz, it is currently the longest spacecraft used in the world, having brought astronauts to space stations like Salyut and Mir before and now the ISS.

There is now a Soyuz vessel connected to the ISS acting as an escape ship for astronauts to work here in case of an incident. Soyuz ships were launched from Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan and often returned to the flat steppe in the same country. The famous Russian Progress (Progress) spacecraft is based on Soyuz.

And the International Space Station (International Space Station - ISS) is a space research complex in the final stage, with the cooperation of the world's five largest space agencies, NASA (USA) and RKA ( Russia), JAXA (Japan, CSA (Canada) and ESA (Europe). Under the plan, ISS will be completed in 2011 and operate until 2016.
