ISS Orbit Boosted by 1.1 km
14 Mar
Summary
- The International Space Station's orbit was adjusted upwards.
- The orbital increase measured 1.1 kilometers above Earth.
- The Progress MS-32 spacecraft executed the orbital maneuver.
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.
