Space Station, Debris Avoidance Maneuver

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.

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.
