out of control? The module cabin engine started abnormally causing the International Space Station to rotate 45 degrees

　　Chinanews.com, July 30. According to a comprehensive Russian satellite network report, according to the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), due to the abnormal start of the engine of the Russian "Science" module docking with the International Space Station on the 29th, the International Space Station has rotated 45. Spend.

At present, the "Science" engine has been shut down and the space station has been reset.

Russia will lead the investigation of this incident, and NASA engineers will also participate.

On June 3, the Associated Press released a group of astronauts’ spacewalk images on June 2, local time, two members of the International Space Station, Russian astronauts Oleg Nowitzki and Peter Dubrovnik. The husband went on a spacewalk to replace the battery.

　　NASA tweeted: "The engine of the module cabin of the ('Science') accidentally started work at 12:45 pm Eastern Time, turning the space station 45 degrees. The reset work brought the space station back to normal, and there was no damage to the crew. Cause any danger."

　　Earlier, Russian astronauts from the International Space Station reported to the ground that the engine of the "Science" experimental module that docked with the "Star" service module a few hours ago suddenly started automatically.

　　The NASA announcer stated that after the engine of the "Science" experimental module started abnormally, the attitude angle of the International Space Station changed by 45 degrees.

In order to offset the impact caused by the engine start of the "Science", Russia started the engine of the "Xingchen" service module and the engine of the "Progress MS-17" cargo spacecraft docked with the "Explorer" research module.

　　At present, the engine of the "Science" experimental cabin has been shut down.

The NASA announcer stated that control of the International Space Station has been restored.

　　Joel Montalbano, the director of NASA’s International Space Station project, pointed out in a telephone news conference, “We have not found any damage now.”

　　Montalbano said that additional inspections are being carried out, but the crew on duty felt that the space station was “not jittery” and that “it did not pose a direct threat to the team at any time”.

　　The National Aeronautics and Space Administration also stated that Russia will lead the investigation of the International Space Station "Science" module cabin incident, and NASA engineers will also participate.

　　The module cabin of the Russian "Science" was successfully lifted off by the "Proton-M" rocket on July 21, and successfully docked with the International Space Station on July 29 after 8 days of flight. When the crew on duty opened the module cover, the engine suddenly started. There was no incident. A threat to the crew on duty.

　　However, in view of this incident, NASA and Boeing have decided to cancel the launch of the second orbital test flight of the Interplanetary Spacecraft originally scheduled for July 30.
