Russian astronauts aboard the International Space Station (ISS) informed mission control in Moscow on Thursday about a problem with the new Russian Nauka module after it docked at the station a few hours earlier, RIA news agency reported. The astronauts flagged an unplanned restart of Nauka's engines, RIA reported, citing conversations between the team and their headquarters on Earth, translated by the NASA space agency. The situation did not pose a risk to astronauts, RIA quoted a NASA official as saying in the broadcast, and the Nauka engines have now been switched off. The U.S. space agency's headquarters in Houston, Texas, told the astronauts that the unplanned restart of Nauka's engines had changed the position of the ISS in space, RIA reported.More Related News
