The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) recently revealed that the International Space Station (ISS) spun 540-degrees after Russia's new space station module, Nauka, inadvertently fired its thrusters after docking.NASA posted a tweet on its official Twitter account stating, following this morning's docking of the Nauka module to the @Space_Station, the module's thrusters started firing at 12:45pm ET inadvertently and unexpectedly, moving the station 45 degrees out of altitude. Recovery operations have regained attitude and the crew is in no danger.

Further analysis showed total attitude change before regaining normal attitude control was ~540°. It also mentioned that the International Space Station is in good shape & operating normally.The Twitter post by NASA has gone viral. It has gathered over 5,000 likes and 1,580 re-tweets so far. Public reaction to the news has been shocking, after all, its not everyday that you hear about the International Space Station doing a 540-degree flip! Check it out:Good to see fast recovery. Well done to all #ISS partners involvedPaul Daly (@PaulDalyROI) July 29, 2021The crew didnt feel anything. It was only about half a degree per second of change, and when youre in orbit those changes are even more difficult to notice.valerie (@ValsAerospace) July 29, 2021I think Nauka's computer(s) didn't switch from flight mode to docked operations or was the TORU unit not properly shut of after docking? Nauka could be reacting on some manual commands she may have received earlier. Shutting down her (flight) computer should solve the problem.Saskia Lit (@Litsas) July 29, 2021Always expect the unexpected! We do train for loss of attitude control - it's actually a tricky one as once you lose attitude then it can cascade into loss of comms, loss of electrical power, thermal control etc but no immediate danger to crew.Tim Peake (@astro_timpeake) July 30, 2021Whoah!! Glad all are Safe!!!VeniVidiVeci (@VeniceLove5) July 29, 2021
