Horror adventure in space (suggestions wanted)

I'm working on a near-future horror adventure to be run as a one-shot.
The basic premise is that the International Space Station has fallen out
of radio communication, but appears (on telescopes) to be undamaged; the
PCs are the crew and specialists on a shuttle sent to find out what's
wrong, fix it if possible, and rescue the station crew if necessary.

The flight crew are probably ex-military; the others are more likely to
be civilians. I'm working on subplots for a certain amount of inter-PC
bickering.

What I'm still filling in, though, is just what has happened. The Soyuz
escape capsule hasn't been used (and nor has its radio), so the
three-person crew is probably either dead or incapacitated in some way.
I have several ideas for the details, but I want to pick things that a
bunch of randomly selected gamers won't come up with immediately.
Congratulations, bunch of randomly selected gamers! What (as gamers
and/or horror fans) do you think are the most likely causes of the
problem?
