ISS members evacuate as fast moving debris approach station
The six-member crew of the International Space Station were forced to evacuate to two Russian Soyuz evacuation capsules after spotting incoming debris that threatened to flatten the fragile craft
The space junk missed the craft by 820ft, a Russian space industry source told the Interfax news agency
“The space junk was detected too late for a ducking manoeuvre,” the source told Interfax.
“The six ISS crew members received instructions to transfer to the Soyuz vehicles,” the Russian source said.
