Satellite debris forces space station crew to take shelter

A satellite breakup resulting in a "cloud" of debris prompted the seven-member crew of the International Space Station to seal hatches and take shelter in their Crew Dragon and Soyuz spacecraft early Monday, officials said.

Flight controllers in Houston woke up the crew to inform them of the possible close encounter, or "conjunction."

"Station on space-to-ground 2 for an early wakeup," mission control called. "We were recently informed of a satellite breakup and need to have you guys start reviewing the safe haven procedure."
