International Space Station Dodges Space Debris in Thrilling Maneuver!

On April 30, 2025, the International Space Station (ISS) successfully executed a Debris Avoidance Maneuver (DAM) using Progress 91 thrusters to evade a fragment from a 2005 Chinese Long March rocket. The ISS increased its altitude to avoid a potential collision that could have come as close as 0.4 miles. This maneuver did not disrupt any scheduled operations, including the upcoming spacewalk.
