The ISS crew was woken up at night by a siren due to a Zvezda module failure
At night, a siren sounded on the International Space Station (ISS). This happened after a failure in the control system of the Russian Zvezda module. This is reported by RIA Novosti with reference to NASA.
According to cosmonaut Anton Shkaplerov, the siren went off throughout the station.
“And to our colleagues, I didn’t beat off (the siren) so that they could hear,” he said during a conversation with a specialist at the Mission Control Center near Moscow.
Shkaplerov explained that the alert was triggered due to a temporary failure in the navigation support of the motion control and navigation system of the Zvezda module.
Later, a representative of the Houston Mission Control Center notified the ISS that no action from the crew was required.
Earlier it was reported that the International Space Station lost its orientation in space while testing the engines of the Soyuz MS-18 spacecraft. On it cosmonaut Oleg Novitsky, actress Yulia Peresild and director Klim Shipenko will return to Earth on October 17.
