The International Space Station (ISS) performed a Predetermined Debris Avoidance Maneuver (PDAM) on 06 August 2023 at 02:03 GMT to mitigate a projected high- risk conjunction with Cosmos 1408 debris (International Designator 1982-092BZV, U.S. Satellite Catalog Number 52808). This small fragment was created by the November 2021 anti-satellite test on Cosmos 1408 by the Russian Federation (ODQN vol. 26, issue 1, March 2022, pp. 1-5). The 83P Progress vehicle thrusters were again used to perform a standard 0.3 m/s posigrade maneuver. ISS apogee and perigee altitudes were raised by 0.73 km and 0.40 km, respectively. |
