Tengrinews.kz - The orbit of the International Space Station (ISS) was adjusted to prevent a potential collision with space debris.

According to Roscosmos's Telegram channel, the ISS orbit was raised by nearly 800 meters to avoid the debris.

"At 11:09 p.m. Moscow time (1:09 a.m. Astana time), the engines of the Progress MS-28 cargo spacecraft were fired for 330.90 seconds, providing a thrust of 0.5 meters per second, which raised the ISS orbit by approximately 800 meters," the statement read.
