Missing 'garbage', ISS must change its trajectory

After twice avoiding cosmic garbage, ISS Space Station was forced to move to ensure safety.

Last week, a broken Russian satellite and the remainder of an Indian rocket had flattened across the ISS at a distance of just a few miles. This dangerous situation forced ISS to temporarily relocate to another location, and astronauts spent many hours stressing the question of how big the disaster would be.

'Russian satellites flew over Thursday morning while Indian missiles fluttered on Friday,' ISS said.

Therefore, Russia's Ground Control Center said it would take ISS to another orbit to reduce the risk of future space junk.

A center spokesman said Russia's Zvevda module will launch boosters to 'move' for ISS.

ISS will have to "move" to ensure safety

According to NASA estimates, there are currently 21,000 cosmic garbage objects with a minimum diameter of 10cm wandering in orbit. The ability of ISS to be scratched with large garbage blocks is calculated as 1 / 10,000. There are a total of 6 astronauts including three Russians, two Americans and a Japanese person working on the ISS station.

Normally, NASA and its partners will require the ISS station to deploy a process to avoid cosmic garbage whenever there is a danger of approaching too close. The danger zone is defined as 15 miles around the station and on / under the station half a mile.
