Moscow (SPX) Nov 11, 2005 Russia's Mission Control Center said Thursday it had successfully completed the correction of the International Space Station's orbit, raising it eight kilometers (4.97 miles), reports RIA Novosti. An expert with Mission Control said the corrective maneuvers, involving two engines from the Progress M-54 cargo vehicle, which is docked with the ISS, had raised the ISS's average orbit to about 353 kilometers (219.35 miles). The October 19 attempt to correct the ISS' orbit failed after a system engine shutoff in the Progress M-54. The next cargo vehicle, the Progress M-55, is set to be launched from the Baikonur Space Center in Kazakhstan December 8. Related Links SpaceDaily Search SpaceDaily Subscribe To SpaceDaily Express
