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.

Earlier this week, Progress 89, an uncrewed Russian supply ship docked at the International Space Station, used a 5-minute and 31-second burn to move the ISS to a higher orbit. According to a joint statement,

The space station had to undergo another repositioning maneuver to move it out of the way of approaching space debris, NASA announced.

The International Space Station has an ongoing leak that the agency calls a "top safety risk." Here's how the leak is being managed on the aging orbital laboratory.

Officials with NASA are at odds with their counterparts at the Russian space agency Roscosmos over the severity of a leak aboard the International Space Station.

The International Space Station (ISS) has had a leak since at least 2019 and NASA warns it could lead to a "catastrophic failure" if it's not fixed.
