The four astronauts on board the SpaceX Crew Dragon spacecraft were told that they could possibly be on a collision course with an 'unknown' object before docking at the International Space Station, NASA has revealed. The encounter was reported at 1:43pmET Friday, sparking ground control to alert the crew of a possible impact. A recycled SpaceX capsule carrying four astronauts arrived at the space station on Saturday - a day after launching from NASA's Kennedy Space Center. The Dragon capsule docked autonomously with the orbiting outpost more than 260 miles above the Indian Ocean. The hatches swung open a couple hours later, uniting all 11 space travelers. But the four astronauts in the recycled capsule were told to prepare to collide into an unidentified object just seven hours after launching from Kennedy Space Center on Friday, Futurism reported. 'The NASA/SpaceX team was informed of the possible conjunction by US Space Command,' NASA spokesperson Kelly Humphries told Futurism. 'The object being tracked is classified as "unknown".' According to Humphries, there was no time for the astronauts to perform a maneuver to evade the object. So SpaceX told the astronauts to put on their pressurized suits in case of a collision.
