MISSION CONTROL (near Moscow), June 13 (RIA Novosti) - A NASA expert said dust could have caused a fire alarm onboard the International Space Station's U.S. segment to go off Wednesday night.
The alarm went off at 5:22 p.m. Eastern Standard Time Tuesday (10:22 p.m. GMT), but by 5:31 p.m. (10:31 p.m. GMT) the astronauts discovered it was false and there was no fire onboard.
Neither the crew nor the space station was ever in any danger, Mission Control said.
