Fear in orbit, space debris too close to Iss. Alarm back

The alarm is returned, the situation aboard the station is back to normal. There were moments of apprehension. The impact of even this small piece could cause catastrophic consequences, for good fortune everything is back to normal. "said the Tg1 astronaut Roberto Vittori, who has participated in two spatial experiences in 2002 and 2005, the Marco Polo mission, and Aeneid.
" The space station - said Vittori - is an environment particular, we are outside the atmosphere, far from everything and everyone. The daily life outside the station takes you to not think about those potential crisis situations that could explode at any time. When the emergency onboard sound - adds an astronaut - the crew wearing the suit, a diving suit that protects astronauts and then you go running in the Soyuz lifeboat. "As for the risk of impact with space debris Vittori said that any debris is a small snippet: "I'm like microprojectiles traveling at 8 miles per second and are likely to affect the structure of the station causing the loss of pressure. In space, the number of debris to be relatively one minute quantities, yet the statistical probability makes the NASA continually keep them under control. "
Chronicle
The 3 astronauts were ordered to prepare to evacuate the space station because of the danger of collision with space debris in orbit. Broke the news of the NASA decision was taken because the garbage space, specifically a piece of an engine of a satellite, is too close to an evasive ISS. The crew entered the Soyuz module in isolation from the rest of the station and is ready to disengage in an emergency. NASA engineers have been afraid, in case of impact, a sudden depressurization of the space station with clear disatrose accordingly. All right

Close all bulkhead modules that isolate the International Space Station (ISS) and take shelter inside the shuttle emergency Souyz, anchored in the "belly" of the space station is not new for the three crew members. Today, however, was not an exercise, even if everything is done well.
