"The engines of the spacecraft docked to the Zvezda service module of the ISS Russian segment were turned on at 03:25 a.m. Moscow time and gave out an impulse of 0.5 m/s. As a result of the maneuver, the average altitude of the station's orbit increased by 880 meters," Roscosmos said.Earlier, NASA reported that the Progress MS-20 led the station away from a possible collision with space debris. The spacecraft helped to avoid approaching the expected trajectory of the Russian satellite Cosmos-1408 debris, which could fly five kilometers from the station.

Roscosmos: Progress MS-20 Raises ISS Orbit by 880 Meters, Taking Station Away From Debris
MOSCOW (Sputnik) - The Progress MS-20 cargo spacecraft, docked to the International Space Station (ISS), has raised the altitude of the ISS orbit by 880 meters during a maneuver to avoid space debris, Russian state space corporation Roscosmos said in a statement.
"The engines of the spacecraft docked to the Zvezda service module of the ISS Russian segment were turned on at 03:25 a.m. Moscow time and gave out an impulse of 0.5 m/s. As a result of the maneuver, the average altitude of the station's orbit increased by 880 meters," Roscosmos said.
