How does the ISS stay safe from space debris?

Paxi, our curious alien explorer, is back on the International Space Station! This time, he meets NASA astronaut Anne McClain to learn how the ISS stays safe from tiny space rocks and debris flying through space.

Anne explains the clever ways the station is built to protect astronauts from these hazards, from strong shielding to special maneuvers that help avoid bigger pieces of space junk. She even shows Paxi how the crew stays prepared for any unexpected situations!

Join Paxi as he floats through the ISS and discovers how astronauts stay safe while living and working in space!
