ISS Orbit Boosted by 1.1 km

The International Space Station (ISS) recently experienced an orbital adjustment, increasing its altitude by 1.1 kilometers. This precise maneuver has raised the station's average orbit to 421.54 kilometers above the Earth's surface.

The orbital boost was achieved by firing the engines of the Progress MS-32 spacecraft. The engines operated for 634.7 seconds, providing an impulse of 0.62 m/s to alter the station's trajectory.

Currently on duty aboard the ISS is a diverse international crew, including cosmonauts from Roscosmos, astronauts from NASA, and a representative from the European Space Agency.
