MOSCOW, November 25. /TASS/. Russia’s Progress MS-28 cargo spacecraft has adjusted the orbit of the International Space Station (ISS) to avoid collision with space debris, the State Space Corporation Roscosmos reported on Monday.

"The orbit of the International Space Station has been adjusted due to the threat of collision with space debris," Roscosmos said in a statement.

The Progress resupply ship fired its thrusters at 12:49 p.m. Moscow time (9:49 a.m. GMT) for about three minutes, giving an impulse of 0.3 m/s, which helped raise the station’s orbit by about 500 meters, it specified.
