The International Space Station (ISS) orbiting the world came out of orbit when a Russian spacecraft accidentally fired its rocket.
According to the US space agency NASA, mission control personnel took immediate steps to rectify the error and now all systems are working normally.
This small mistake could have led to a major accident, but mission control personnel fired rockets at another part of the space station to control ISS movement.
The incident is being investigated, but US and Russian officials say the condition of the seven astronauts on the International Space Station at the time of the crash was never in danger.
The incident happened just hours after a Russian space shuttle landed on the International Space Station on Thursday, reaching the ISS after an eight-day flight.
According to a NASA tweet, the rocket of the Russian spacecraft "caused an accidental and unexpected fall of 45 degrees from the height of the station."
He said that due to corrective measures, the space station has been brought back to its fixed height and no significant damage has been done to it.
At the time of the crash, the space station crew had been waiting several minutes for contact with mission control, but according to ISS astronauts, they did not feel any major shock.
The crash forced NASA and aviation company Boeing to postpone a test flight of their self-propelled spacecraft Starliner from July 30 to August 3.
