A Russian cargo ship docked at the space station fired its thrusters for five minutes Tuesday to move the ISS out of the way of an inbound object.

There was brief cause for concern at the ISS recently when crew there reported an unexpected odor coming from Russia's recently docked Progress spacecraft.

A Progress spacecraft at the ISS has a strange smell and unusual droplets after arriving at the ISS, NASA reported. Troubleshooting is ongoing, but its hatch is closed for now.

Astronauts on the International Space Station (ISS) faced an unusual incident. Upon opening the Russian cargo spacecraft Progress 90, Russian cosmonauts detected an intense and unpleasant smell. The situation caused concern aboard the station and required immediate action.
