Oct. 25 (UPI) -- The International Space Station adjusted its orbit Monday night to avoid space debris, NASA said.
"This evening, the International Space Station's Progress 81 thrusters fired for 5 minutes, 5 seconds in a Pre-Determined Debris Avoidance Maneuver to provide the complex an extra measure of distance away from the predicted track of a fragment of Russian Cosmos 1408 debris," according to a space agency blog.
