NAUKA ISS MODULE

WASHINGTON — New details have emerged about last week’s frightening incident when a freshly docked Russian module started firing its thrusters, causing the International Space Station to flip backwards one-and-a-half times during a dramatic 47-minute tug of war. Here are the details: Gizmodo reports that NASA has provided new information about the accident the International Space Station suffered on Thursday, July 29. The incident happened some three hours after Russia’s Nauka module docked to the space station. Russian crew members were working to integrate the module when its thrusters suddenly fired, trying to pull the module away from a space station it was securely docked to. The worst part was that Nauka was configured so that it could receive commands only from a ground station in Russia, and the next pass over Russia was 70 minutes away. Unable to disable Nauka’s thrusters, Russian controllers counteracted the momentum by firing thrusters attached to the Zvezda Service Module. Fearing this might not be enough, they also fired thrusters on a Progress cargo ship docked to the station. This 15-minute tug-of-war finally stopped when Nauka’s thrusters suddenly cut out, for reasons that are still unclear. With attitude control regained, the flight controllers were able to right the ship. NASA maintains that the crew of seven was never in any danger, but Harvard-Smithsonian astrophysicist Jonathan McDowell told Gizmodo this was one of the more serious incidents in the 24-year-history of the ISS. The loss of attitude control, he said, “risks breakup” of the entire structure.

NASA makes data available from the international space station, which means that when Nauka took the rest of the station for a spin we had telemetry. A few people have tried to produce visualizations of the spin, but I think many of these are wrong because they're trying to translate the rotations using Euler angles which run into singularities near the poles, and the spin carried them close to these regions. The correct data source would be quaternions which don't suffer from singularities, and are available from ISS data sources.

Космонавт Роскосмоса Олег Новицкий, который сейчас находится на борту Международной космической станции, опубликовал видеоэкскурсию по многоцелевому лабораторному модулю «Наука», который 29 июля в штатном режиме пристыковался к МКС. На кадрах видно, как он вместе с Петром Дубровым открывает люки в новый российский модуль, после чего переходят в него. Затем начинается небольшая экскурсия по самой «Науке».

Nauka, the new module for the ISS has had a troubled journey to the ISS after having problems soon after launch necessitating a delay, burning extra fuel and losing the option for a second docking attempt. However the real drama came hours after the successful docking when thrusters on the module began firing unexpectedly, resulting in a loss of attitude control and emergency actions to stabilize the station.

Russia's long-delayed lab module has successfully docked with the International Space Station , eight days after it was launched from the Russian space launch facility in Baikonur, Kazakhstan. The 22-tonne Nauka module, also called the Multipurpose Laboratory Module, docked with the orbiting outpost after a long journey and a series of manoeuvres. The launch of Nauka, which is intended to provide more room for scientific experiments and space for the crew, had been repeatedly delayed because of technical problems. It was initially scheduled to go up in 2007.

NEW SPACE STATION MODULE DOCKS TO THE INTERNATIONAL COMPLEX The Russian “Nauka” Multipurpose Laboratory (MLM) docked to the space station July 29 following a launch from the Baikonur Cosmondrome in Kazakhstan on July 21. “Nauka”, the Russian word for science, replaced the Pirs Docking Compartment which undocked from the station July 24 and was deorbited by an unpiloted Progress supply ship after 20 years of service at the orbiting outpost. The Multipurpose Laboratory Module will serve as a research lab, docking port, and airlock for Russian segment spacewalks.

NEW SPACE STATION MODULE LAUNCHED TO THE INTERNATIONAL COMPLEX The Russian “Nauka” Multipurpose Laboratory Module (MLM) launched July 21 on a Proton-M rocket from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan, beginning an eight-day flight for an automated docking to the Russian segment of the complex. “Nauka”, the Russian word for science, will replace the Pirs Docking Compartment, which will undock from the station July 23 to be deorbited by an unpiloted Progress supply ship after 20 years of service at the orbital outpost. The Multipurpose Laboratory Module will serve as a research lab, docking port and airlock for Russian segment spacewalks in future years.

The last major addition to the International Space Station was in 2011, after that the forced retirment of the Space Shuttle meant that new hardware was necessarily small, but this year we're seeing a number of new pieces of hardware which will be attached to the station which will expand it and change the way it looks.

The Russian space agency showed on Friday its Multipurpose Laboratory Module (MLM) for the International Space Station as it passes the final preparation before departure to the cosmodrome Baikonur.
