Russia's Space Mission Control Center has announced that the International Space Station (ISS) will be moved to a different orbit around the Earth to avoid a possible collision with the remains of a Japanese satellite.

The Russian Zvijezda module will use its rockets to push the ISS to a new position tomorrow at 07:22 Moscow time.

The ISS is moved when the probability of a collision is greater than 1:10.000.

There are currently six astronauts in the ISS: three Russians, two Americans and one Japanese.
