On July 29th, the International Space Station experienced an incident involving the Russian Nauka module. After docking, Nauka's thrusters unexpectedly fired, attempting to pull the module away from the station. Due to its configuration, commands could only be sent from a Russian ground station, which was 70 minutes away. Russian controllers counteracted the issue by firing thrusters on the Zvezda service module and a Progress cargo ship. The situation was resolved when Nauka's thrusters stopped unexpectedly, allowing flight controllers to regain control.
