CaptainRAVE Posted February 5, 2002 Posted February 5, 2002 A mysterious computer system crash shut down the power generation at the International Space Station (ISS), cutting communications with Earth. The power has been restored in three hours, the crew was safe, NASA said. The failed computer is in the Zvezda Service Module, part of the Russian segment of the station. It transfers data between Russian orientation equipment and four US gyroscopes, monitoring solar panels' and radio antenna's orientation. Mission control maintained audio communication and computer commands only for a while. The crew has been ordered to save electricity by shutting down power used for scientific experiments. In April the station's three main computer systems shut down.
Heavyarms Posted February 5, 2002 Posted February 5, 2002 <news report> Today, the ISS had a power failure. some say that it was the work of Eets'chula, a wierd looking short guy that almost resmebled Yoda from the star wars movies. More at 6:00. Now back to: when eggplants strike!
