"No panic" aboard ISS after apparent chemical leak, 6 crew safe

Russian cosmonauts aboard the International Space Station say the 6 crew members are safe and there is "no panic" after an apparent chemical leak forced the evacuation of the American section of the orbiting laboratory.


There are 6 crew members aboard the ISS - 2 Americans, 3 Russians and an Italian.


They're now all crammed into the Russian section of the Space Station, and say they'll spend the night there while Mission Control determines what caused the problem.


Russian flight engineer Alexander Samoukutyaev (PRON:  SAM-OO-KOO-TAYEV) told ground controllers it's cramped on board, but everyone is healthy.
