Washington  - The International Space Station did an about- face rotation on Sunday in order to dodge another piece of space junk, NASA officials said.

But it was not as close a call as more than a week ago, when three station astronauts prepared to evacuate as a piece of debris approached.

In the current situation, the station was headed to a close encounter on Monday with a 10-centimetre-broad bit of debris from the upper stage of a Chinese rocket, NASA spokesman Kyle Herring told Deutsche Presse-Agentur dpa.
