RELATED ARTICLE: Russia Blames Software Error Over ISS Nauka Module Incident Is It the Most Serious Incident Yet?Ĭheck out more news and information on Space in Science Times.Woodbank does not monitor or record these emails Related information about the recurrence is shown on Tony Technology's YouTube video below: However, they reiterated that it was very slow to be noticed by astronauts aboard the space station and that all other station systems continued operating during the docking incident.įurthermore, they explained that the initial 45-degree tilt they reported was provided during the initial minutes following the occurrence of the event, although it was later updated after analysis of the actual occurrence. Representatives from NASA then confirmed that the representation of Scoville of the exact numbers that the ISS tilted was precise. The former said the space station reached a 0.056 rotation rate maximum per second, which was inadequate for the crew to feel such a tilt. In an earlier Science Times report, Zebulon Scoville, NASA flight director leading mission control in Houston during the incident, took over the docking from Gregory Whitney, also a flight director at NASA, who then had a meeting to attend The spacecraft was set to undock from the station on October 16 around 5:14 pm EDT and was set to touch down on Kazakhstan's steppes at roughly 3.5 hours. In a statement, Roscosmos officials said because of a short-term software direct facilitation was mistakenly applied to turn on the engines of the module for withdrawal, which resulted in some alteration of the orientation of the complex, in general.ĭespite what happened, the Soyuz MS-18 stays on track to return to this planet this year. Russian officials were able to trace specifically the July 29 event to a software malfunction. The occurrence was even more dangerous as it rotated the orbiting lab by approximately 540 degrees. In late July, the space station was accidentally spun when the thrusters of Russia's newly arrived Nauka module conducted some unplanned firing. As specified in this report, the crew's departure will carry on as planned. The small group scheduled to fly home on Sunday comprised Oleg Novitskiy, a cosmonaut Klim Shipenko, a film director and Yulia Presild, an actor. Creamer said Moscow is currently checking into it and performing its own data analysis. It remains unclear why the thrusters topped firing, although the handlers of the station have some ideas.
In connection to this space occurrence, NASA and Roscosmos, the federal space agency of Russia, have initiated a joint investigation into the incident. The reason for the deviant engine activity stays unidentified. A report said the lab deviated briefly from its standard orientation "by 57 degrees." More so, Timothy Creamer, NASA flight coordinator, explained, the engines switched off on their own, perhaps, because of the engines that ran out of propellant.
