The Russian space module Nauka docked to the ISS on the afternoon of July 29. Nauka replaced the Pirs module, which had undocked from the station three days earlier. The new Russian module was docked to the ISS for the first time since 2010, when the small research module Rassvet was docked to the station.
Later, NASA reported that an abnormal start of the engines occurred on the Russian module. According to the agency, the ISS turned 45 degrees due to an abnormal start of the engines of the Nauka module. To compensate for the impulse, the engines of the Zvezda module and the Progress cargo ship had to be used. Also, after the incident, the launch of the Starliner spacecraft to the ISS was postponed indefinitely.
In “Roskosmos”, in turn, they explained the abnormal switching on of the engines by working with the remaining fuel in the module. “The process of transferring the Nauka module from the flight mode to the“ docked with the ISS ”mode is underway,” the state corporation said.
