Starts a static evacuation from space station (5)
I believe the answer is:
opens
'starts' is the definition.
(opening is a kind of starting)
'a static evacuation from space station' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'space' could be 'en' and 'en' is present in the answer.
The remaining letters 'ops' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This may be the basis of clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for opens that I've seen before include "Establishes" , "Unfastens" , "Removes a lid, say" , "expands" , "Tournaments for both professionals and amateurs" .)
