@SRM Guess that’s a yes. Anyway, Nauka successfully docked. But that’s where it went wrong. After a few hours, Nauka fired its engines without getting confirmation to do it, putting the station in a spin. It quickly reached 0.56 degrees a second. This is extremely fast, even though it may seem slow. A spacecraft emergency was declared, allowing the US to have additional contact with the station’s astronauts. So why didn’t the US stop the engines? Well, Russia designed Nauka for only being able to receive commands from Russia, themselves. A bug in the system caused a false confirmation to fire the engines. Anyway, Russia couldn’t stop it due to it being 70 minutes before being able to pass over Russia. The astronauts didn’t notice any change in this event. Oh, by the way, the station has four gyroscopes, each spinning 6000 revolutions per minute. But, the thrust was able to counteract them. Mission control in Houston locked the solar panels, while the astronauts locked the radiators. Anyway, while Russia couldn’t get control of Nauka, it could get ahold of Zvezda. Using it’s RCS, the station could be slowed down a bit, but not enough. They decided to fire one of their docked spacecraft’s RCS to better counter it. 15 minutes later, the Nauka was out of fuel, and they stopped the station. They flipped it back over, since it was upside down. Total, it turned 720 degrees (including the flip to get the station in the right position). Mission control did some more work, and told the astronauts to take the day off. You can read a better, more detailed version here.
Told ya.
3.3 years agoNoice
+1 3.3 years agoAnalyze Performance, then check that specific stage.
3.3 years ago@NotAGopnik Exactly.
3.3 years agoMake a picture inside a picture inside a picture.
3.3 years ago@118Industries Yeah. But make it so it doesn’t stray too far off from the original design.
3.3 years agoHmm
3.3 years agoDang it. Why not create this as a new craft, instead?
3.3 years ago@118Industries Got it.
3.3 years ago@pianoplane Yeah, lol.
3.3 years ago@pianoplane They both look epik.
3.3 years ago@pianoplane ooooh, gotta see dat
3.3 years ago@pianoplane big boi boom
3.3 years ago@pianoplane yeh
3.3 years ago@pianoplane Depends. It can get up to 3,000 dollars (US).
3.3 years ago@pianoplane Exactly. Plus, Tweedle can’t just get one today, and expect to see one. Not how things work.
3.3 years ago@pianoplane You can’t just instantly get a free ticket there.
3.3 years ago@pianoplane I am gonna stop getting involved with these posts.
3.3 years ago@pianoplane Dude, this won’t stop him. You will be banned if you keep making these posts.
3.3 years ago@pianoplane Wouldn’t you want to get points?
3.3 years ago@pianoplane This won’t stop him. :(
3.3 years ago@pianoplane Oooooooh, cool. My favorite plane is either the F-22 Raptor, or the F-117 Nighthawk. Stealth planes look cooooool.
3.3 years ago@118Industries Got it.
3.3 years ago@SRM quick upvote fun
3.3 years ago@SRM Lol.
3.3 years ago@SRM hmm.
3.3 years agoYes, big cool image.
3.3 years ago@TweedleAerospace They should.
3.3 years ago@SRM Oh, btw, the reason Starliner was delayed was because of the station’s incident.
3.3 years ago@PanzerAerospace I did it again. (Look down a few comments)
3.3 years ago@SRM Just read it to get your answer.

3.3 years ago@118Industries Huh, Kay. I still can’t make a VTOL, lol.
3.3 years ago@NebulaSpaceAgency lol
3.3 years ago@Chtite451SR2 That’s what I was thinking. Docking ports would help lower it, but maybe skip docking the payload and the truck for a realism factor?
3.3 years agoOooooh, cool. Why “Dolphin 2.0”? Something more original would be nicer.
3.3 years ago@NebulaSpaceAgency i dont understand you, professional snarky-comment commenter
3.3 years agoCoool.
3.3 years ago@kittman hmm
3.3 years ago?
3.3 years ago@pabloplataa Ohhhh, cool! :)
3.3 years agoCustom wings. >:)
3.3 years ago@ChaoticGraviton Heh. Glad you are adding that, ^^
3.3 years agoWoah, this is amazing. Maybe a non reuseable version for much higher orbits?
3.3 years agoinvestigator dude from the ‘60s walks up
3.3 years agodeep voice: Wanna know what happened with Starliner, and the ISS?
Oooooh. Cool.
3.3 years ago
3.3 years ago@TweedleAerospace Yeah.
3.3 years ago@NeoStarAerospace :) Your welcome!
3.3 years ago@FoxtrotTheSergal There isn’t. Looks like it, tho.
