The International Space Station had to shift its orbit this week to avoid an oncoming chunk of dangerous space debris. In an update, NASA said Tuesday's avoidance maneuver involved a Russian Progress cargo ship docked at the space station firing its thrusters at 2:09 p.

With bilateral relations being at their worst since the 1980s and the station’s planned death in sight, persistent air leaks onboard are steadily escalating tensions between NASA and Roscosmos. The American space agency aired its concerns in public during an ISS Advisory Committee last week.

There are at least 19,000 pieces of space debris in Earth's orbit, not including active satellites, that the U.S is monitoring.

The International Space Station (ISS) has had a leak since at least 2019 and NASA warns it could lead to a "catastrophic failure" if it's not fixed.

Russia’s Roscosmos space agency successfully launched a cargo spacecraft toward the International Space Station (ISS) on Thursday, carrying New Year’s gifts alongside essential supplies. A Soyuz-2 rocket carrying the Progress MS-29 cargo ship lifted off from Kazakhstan’s Baikonur Cosmodrome at 3:22 p.
