Astronauts working on the International Space Station briefly sheltered in a docked capsule yesterday as Russian colleagues assessed leak repairs, NASA said.
Five astronauts had briefly entered the docked Dragon spacecraft as a precautionary measure -- the capsule functions as a lifeboat of sorts in the case an evacuation is needed.
NASA gave the all clear and the astronauts were able to return to their stations.
