Last week was a big week for the ISS after Russia’s new laboratory module called Nauka docked with the space station after years of delays. The space station took up residency on the port where the Pirs docking station and a Russian cargo spacecraft were stationed previously. While the launch and docking with the ISS went smoothly with no issues, a scary problem popped up after docking. As mentioned yesterday, thrusters on the Nakua module fired unintentionally, pushing the ISS out of its normal orientation. However, mission controllers were able to quickly and easily regain control and reorient the space station properly.
