When I was listening to the Shuttle STS-119 audio feed last night - March 16 (just before Midnight - Chicago time). The Shuttle performed a burn to "catch up" with the ISS.
The shuttle appeared to be about 20 minutes behind the ISS on the visible pass here last night -- before the burn.

Hi all!
Did the ISS perform a maneuver burn to avoid a possible collision with space junk? The reason I ask is during the 0841z to 0850z pass I started to receive the downlink about 08:39:30. About 1.5 minutes before the AOS was to occur. I'm using 1 week old keps and the previous night pass was right on schedule.

You answered the wrong question. He asked if the ISS manouvred to miss the debris.
