The crew of the 71st expedition of the International Space Station was resurrected on the night of June 27. After receiving a signal from Earth, they prepared for an emergency evacuation from the station by manned ships. After almost an hour, the cosmonauts were allowed to return to their cabins and the station resumed normal operations.

As it turned out, the cause of the alarm was the former Russian satellite “Source-P” No. 1 was to be destroyed. The device was launched into space on June 25, 2013 and operated until December 2021, after which it was decommissioned.

According to the U.S. Armed Forces Space Command, “Source-P” #1 broke into more than 100 pieces. The debris of the satellite, which orbits at an altitude of 350 kilometers (about 70 kilometers below the ISS), does not pose a threat to the space station. Source-P No. It is unknown what happened to 1. Maybe the batteries exploded.
