The International Space Station had to adjust its orbit to avoid collision with a piece of debris from a US rocket, the head of Russia's space agency Roscosmos, Dmitry Rogozin says, according to state news agency TASS.

The International Space Station had to adjust its orbit to avoid collision with a piece of debris from a US rocket, the head of Russia's space agency Roscosmos, Dmitry Rogozin, said on Friday, according to state news agency TASS.

Rogozin had said earlier on Friday that the maneuver to avoid the piece of debris from a US rocket launched in 1994 was planned for 10:58 Moscow time. The orbit had to be adjusted by the thrusters of the Progress MS-18 space freighter, which is docked to the station. It was unclear at the time whether the warning was related to the space debris created by a Russian anti-satellite test two weeks ago that forced crew members on the International Space Station to scramble into their spacecraft for safety.
