Satellite signals are forcing ISS astronomers to find shelter on cracked caps.

On Monday, astronauts at the International Space Station had to search for safety in their boat as the station passed difficultly near the airport. orbital waste. According to , The US Space Command began tracking the debris in the morning. This allowed the station to pass through the garbage dump every 90 minutes, forcing passengers to close and reopen several rooms several times throughout the day. Four American astronomers, one German and two Russian astronauts on the ISS will need to be vigilant for the next few days.

“Thank you for a crazy but well-coordinated day, thank you so much for all the information you gave us,” U.S. space observer Mark Vande Hei told NASA mission supervisors before going to bed at 12PM EST. “It was a great way to connect as a crew, from our first day on the air.” Four of the astronauts arrived at the scene last weekend.

Neither NASA nor the US government have named it as the cause of the debris that put the ISS at risk. This afternoon, however, the US State Department condemned a Russian missile test that destroyed one of the country’s satellites and created more than 1,500 pieces of orbital debris. “These experiments will significantly increase the risk for astronomers and astronauts at the International Space Station, as well as other exposure events,” said Ned Price. “Russia’s dangerous and irresponsible actions endanger the long-term stability of the atmosphere and show that Russia’s claims against the use of space weapons are fraudulent and fraudulent.”

The State Department says the US is working with allies to respond to Russia’s actions. Per Reuters, this country has said nothing about what happened.

Together with their allies, NASA and the Russian company Roscosmos regularly move to the International Space Station to avoid oncoming debris. He did so last week when the radio station was threatened with fragments of a Chinese satellite that was damaged during a 2007 missile test.
