Due to the dangerous space debris passing near the ISS, the Russian crew had to take shelter in the Soyuz MS-19 spacecraft.
According to records released by NASA, Russian cosmonaut Pyotr Dubrov, an expert from the Mission Control Center in the Moscow region, “The next approach of space debris to the station will be at 7.06. We will be waiting for you to inform us when you switch to the Soyuz spacecraft.” said.

The crew must be in the spacecraft in case the ISS gets close to potentially dangerous trash.” expressions were used.
WHAT IS SPACE WASTE?
Space debris orbiting above Earth is constantly increasing as humans send more satellites and rockets into space every day. This space junk, which still exists in orbit, is seen as a serious threat to active satellites. A new study shows that the problem may be much bigger than previously thought.
Astronomers and those in the space industry have long worried about the dangers posed by space junk. These hazards range from debris colliding with the Earth causing damage to orbiting debris, known as Kessler’s Syndrome, in a chain collision that destroys Earth’s global communications.
