In the third incident of its kind in more than a decade, the six-member crew of ISS took shelter Saturday when space debris whizzed past. A piece of an old Russian satellite whizzed by the International Space Station (ISS) on Saturday (March 24, 2012), forcing its six-member crew to take temporary shelter in two Soyuz escape capsules.

The incident was the third of its kind in more than a decade of continuous habitation of ISS, NASA said. The Russian space agency said the debris passed within 23 kilometers (14 miles) of ISS, forcing the three Russians, two US astronauts and a Dutch member of the crew to relocate to the two Soyuz capsules on board.
