The International Space Station had to make an evasive maneuver to avoid a piece of space junk TechSpot

To avoid a potential collision with one of the pieces, a Russian supply spacecraft docked to the ISS fired its rockets for just over six minutes on November 11. This altered the speed of the ISS, raising its orbit by 1.2 kilometers (0.75 miles) and positioning it out of harm’s way.
