Russian space program's Mission Control say that by force of sheer
luck International Space Station managed to avoid two drastic collision last week; one with a broken Russian satellite and second with the remains of an Indian rocket which passed within miles of the ISS.
The International Space Station is planning to change its orbit after narrowly avoiding these two pieces of space junk. The ISS may be moved into a different orbit to lower the risk of a possible collision with any of the 21,000 pieces of debris orbiting the Earth.
Booster rockets would be used to change the course of the space station where there are currently six astronauts on board.
