Crew being notified of a possible close conjunction at 17:43 and being asked to don suits for sake of caution.

Possible collision alert. Crew is now donning pressure suits as a precaution.

abaddon · « **Reply #254 on:** 04/23/2021 05:28 pm »

Not planning to do a maneuver.

Time of Closest Approach (TCA) with possible debris is at 1:43pm EDT (1743 UTC). After this time the risk of a collision/conjunction will begin to lower.

abaddon · « **Reply #256 on:** 04/23/2021 05:40 pm »

Noted "high uncertainty" in tracking of object.

Jansen · « **Reply #257 on:** 04/23/2021 05:42 pm »

Visors being lowered as a precaution.

abaddon · « **Reply #258 on:** 04/23/2021 05:43 pm »

Believe "farther away than anticipated". Confirmed visors closed and suits zipped.

Jansen · « **Reply #259 on:** 04/23/2021 05:44 pm »

Suits are fully sealed. TCA pushed back several minutes.
