At the moment, the trajectories are being calculated and the rendezvous parameters are being clarified, ”the press service of RIA Novosti quotes.
According to the agency's source, the Mission Control Center can carry out a space debris evasion maneuver for the ISS by raising the station's altitude by 1.2 km using the Progress MS-18 cargo vehicle.
