ISS Astronauts Take Shelter in Boeing Starliner After Satellite Breakup
Following the breakup of the Russian Resurs-P1 satellite, over 100 pieces of debris in low Earth orbit prompted nine astronauts on the International Space Station to seek temporary shelter in their return spacecraft, including the Boeing Starliner.
The precautionary measure lasted about an hour, highlighting concerns about space junk and collision risks. Meanwhile, technical issues with the Starliner have stranded NASA astronauts Suni Williams and Butch Wilmore on the ISS, as they continue to address helium leaks and thruster malfunctions.
In a separate development, NASA has enlisted SpaceX to create a spacecraft to safely deorbit the ISS by 2030, ensuring a controlled decommissioning process.
