I bet Elon could get a new one up there in a year or less if you pay him to.
That includes building a new capsule. |

If they've got 30 orbits before it becomes unstable and de-orbits soon after... then they've got a little less than 2 days.
If they can't get it to have some propulsion during this time then there's no saving it. Nothing could go up to attempt to save it in time. If they can restore propulsion then even if they can't reach the ISS they could raise the orbit to something that's stable for a few years. Then there are commercial craft and rockets that could be sent up to ferry it to the ISS. |

Chynah is ready to take Taiwan. This is a ploy with an excuse that it is uncontrollable and will explode above the US as an EMP. Russah and Chynah are the new world power and .gov will make the excuse that it was an accident and we must accept socialism to prevent our country from being conquered.

sounding like they may have gotten propulsion working again.
don't know if it will make it to the ISS yet.

Quoted: On a serious note, the warranty on the propulsion system expired in 2014 so they installed a completely new system, the new systems warranty expired last year.

View Quote Reportedly, if they don't make a major burn today, the orbits will go out of synch and it probably wont make it to the ISS. Honestly, this module has been a continuous 20 year clusterfuck and the rest of the ISS countries shouldn't even allow it to be attached. |

Quoted: Russia should be more worried about raising their populous out of poverty than fucking around with space and shit View Quote People say the same thing about the US. Frankly I'd rather see the Russians build cool stuff like spacecraft, submarines and aircraft... even if they are obsolete and/or unnecessary by the time they hit production. Give that money to the people and it'll just buy more vodka and tracksuits. |

All of my time spent playing Kerbal Space Project makes me think this is fixable. All we have to is send up Jed Kerbin with an extra fuel tank, match orbits, dock the two craft together, Jed can fill the modules tank then use his engine to raise its orbit, then parachute home. Easy Peasy.

Quoted: this sounds worrying: "Judging by the telemetry information, too high pressure was created in the fuel system, as a result of which the bellows broke and the fuel flowed into the gas cavity behind the bellows membrane." View Quote If true that is BAD....a restart attempt could end the mission .....abruptly......thats how these types of 'anomalies' tend to go. ETA: My bet is it become falling space junk or space debris. Bad for the astronauts ...any Americans on board? |

Russia Averts Possible Disaster as New Space Station Module Finally Reaches Proper Orbit Russia’s new space station module, dubbed Nauka, is currently en route to the ISS, but the spacecraft initially failed to complete its first orbit-raising burn, leading to concerns that it might not complete the trip. Thankfully, the Nauka team on Earth was able to perform a course correction, and the module is now in the proper orbit to continue its journey. View Quote |

They worked out the problems to Nauka, got it to the ISS, only to have it's slavshit thrusters fire while attached to the ISS and fuck up the orientation of the entire station.
https://arstechnica.com/science/2021/07/russian-module-suddenly-fires-thrusters-after-docking-with-space-station/ They should never have allowed this piece of shit to be attached. |

For NASA, this meant delaying the launch of a Starliner spacecraft planned for Friday. This long-awaited mission comes 19 months after an initial test flight in December 2019 went awry due to software problems. Because Starliner was not able to dock with the space station during this first test flight, Boeing agreed to fly a second test mission of Starliner before a crewed flight. View Quote Ouch. Kharn |

Watched the docking and drama unfold yesterday.
Those RCS thrusters started popping off after the module was docked and the Russians onboard the ISS were in the service module removing the hatch on the docking port. Russian team on the ground scrambling and finally stating the errant thruster firing has been fixed. The 'fix' was the RCS completely running out of propellant , IOW they lost complete control of it until it ran out of gas and they claimed victory. I'm surprised the fucking thing didn't blow up. Now they have a 20T dead fish plugged in to the ISS. |
