CaptainRAVE Posted February 5, 2002 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StaindCitizen Posted February 16, 2002 Share Posted February 16, 2002 Interesting news? OK, how about doing a report on the jugdes @ the olympics? That could be interesting. Especially if we get some opinions in on it, and how there are blind referees in football, but how they are rarely prosecuted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
