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.
