I dunno, I'd rather include some kind of transitional exposition, like "And then they beamed down to the planet..," or just break the chapter right there. Space breaks can be a bit of a headache in works longer than a short story.
It also depends on the POV of choice; in 3rd Limited Shifting you're expected to have a chapter break whenever you change who the narrator's following.
