International Space Station dodges 2nd piece of space junk in 6 days
The International Space Station just dodged a piece of debris for the second time in less than a week. Russia's robotic Progress 89 freighter, which has been docked to the ISS since August, fired its thrusters for about 3.5 minutes on Monday morning (Nov. 25) to get the station clear of a hunk of space junk.
The space station just had to steer clear of more space junk
For the second time in a week, the International Space Station has had to adjust its orbit in order to steer clear of a piece of approaching space junk.
ISS dodges its 39th piece of potentially hazardous space junk. Experts say it won't be the last.
The ISS performed its 39th ever space junk collision avoidance maneuver on Nov. 19. Although it was the first such maneuver in 2024, it may not be the last, experts say.
ISS Successfully Executes Collision Avoidance Maneuver Amid Rising Space Junk Threat
The ISS altered its orbit to evade debris from a 2015 satellite breakup, marking its 39th such maneuver since 1998.
‘Unexpected odor’ reported at the International Space Station
There was brief cause for concern at the ISS recently when crew there reported an unexpected odor coming from Russia's recently docked Progress spacecraft.
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.
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.
