The ISS will avoid a collision with a wreck without human intervention, reassured in the Central Administration

The need to evade the ISS from space garbage fell off, Interfax reports with reference to the flight control center.

The threat of space garbage object is extremely insignificant, so the CCS orbit’s height will not be carried out, the employees of the Central Executive Committee reassured.

Earlier, American experts discovered an unidentified fragment, which can go at a hazardous distance for the station approximately at 22:00 Moscow time.

The last time another maneuver of evasion of the ISS from the fragment of the American satellite Iridium 33 was carried out on November 1. Then, with the help of the Progress M-16M cargo ship, the station gave an impulse at 0.5 m/s, the operation was successful.

The ISS orbit is not so rare - before this, such an operation was carried out in January of this year, when the station "Almost every day, together with American colleagues, we analyze that it is on the way, on the trajectory of the station. We have a special program for evasion of fragments. But we, I repeat, are realized in only one case of a hundred," said the flight manager of the Russian ISS, Vladimir Soloviev. He explained that the "cosmic garbage" in orbit is a "probabilistic thing." “The wreckage very often from the“ red corridor ”leave the“ green ”,” Solovyov said. According to him, the tracking of dangerous rapprocheces between “space garbage” objects from the ISS is regular work, which, including the Russian space control system, is involved.
