The International Space Station (ISS) had to perform three Collision Avoidance Manoeuvres (CAMs) in 2022. During a collision avoidance maneuver, the orbiting space station fires its engines in order to move away and steer clear of incoming space objects. As of May 2021, the orbiting space lab has performed 29 debris avoidance maneuvers since its launch in 1999.
