A temporary loss of attitude control at the International Space Station on 2021-07-29 was caused by thruster firings of the Nauka module several hours after Nauka docked with the station.
Russian controllers were able to turn off Nauka’s thrusters and the station’s attitude control was restored at 1:29 p.m. Eastern on 2021-07-29.
The International Space Station lost attitude control eight minutes after Nauka began firing its thrusters, moving as much as 45 degrees out of alignment.
The International Space Station temporarily lost attitude control on 2021-07-29 when thrusters on the new Russian Nauka module fired three hours after docking.
Dmitry Rogozin ordered Russian cosmonauts to stop using the European robotic arm installed on the Nauka module of the International Space Station.
