HOUSTON, Jan. 13 (UPI) -- The International Space Station dodged a small but super-fast piece of orbiting communication debris Friday, NASA said.
The crew fired the Zvezda service module thrusters at 11:10 a.m. EST to avoid a 4-inch piece of a former communications satellite orbiting at very high speed in the space station's general direction that had "the potential of a collision," the space agency said.
