International Space Station, Debris Avoidance Maneuver

International Space Station forced to maneuver out of way of approaching space debris
A Russian cargo ship docked at the space station fired its thrusters for five minutes Tuesday to move the ISS out of the way of an inbound object.
International Space Station forced to dodge hazardous space debris
The International Space Station had to shift its orbit this week to avoid an oncoming chunk of dangerous space debris. In an update, NASA said Tuesday's avoidance maneuver involved a Russian Progress cargo ship docked at the space station firing its thrusters at 2:09 p.
International Space Station fires thrusters to dodge hunk of space debris
That number has gone up since — the ISS dodged space junk twice in a week-long stretch in March 2023, for example — and it will continue to rise as low Earth orbit gets more and more crowded with satellites and pieces of debris, such as defunct rocket stages.
The space station just had to pull a maneuver to avoid space debris
The space station had to undergo another repositioning maneuver to move it out of the way of approaching space debris, NASA announced.
International Space Station Avoids Collision With Satellite Debris In Close Encounter
The International Space Station on Wednesday raised its orbit to avoid collision with space debris. NASA announced that thrusters of the Progress spacecraft were fired for 5 minutes and 31 seconds to steer away from a debris piece of defunct defense meteorological satellite that broke apart in 2015.
