ISS Solar Panels Up, Computer Glitch Puzzles ControllersRussian and U.S. engineers were drawing up plans late June 15 to work around the failure of critical computers aboard the International Space Station (ISS) in time for the departure of the shuttle Atlantis. Mike Suffredini, NASA's ISS ...
power plant at the ISS during their STS-97mission, the solar panels stuck together as they unfolded due to aphenomenon later dubbed "stiction." Engineers found that they could work aroundthe glitch by deploying the solar arrays in stages using a high tension mode,which allows the panels to ...
robotsthat would recharge satellites that have run out of power. The robots will draw electricity from both solar emission and radio transmissions from Earth. The technology can extend spacecraft life spans 1.5 times, while also making them lighter by dumping excess batteries and solar panels. ...

NASA's Kate Rubins and Victor Glover ventured out Sunday to install support frames for new, high-efficiency solar panels arriving at the International Space Station later this year.
They include this wonderful effort by Chris Hooker of the Newbury Astro Society in the U.K., with the image showing the entirety of the station with its solar panels clearly identifiable on either side of the central, habitable modules. ...
The Soyuz TMA-17M ship with the three man crew successfully docked at the ISS around 5:46am MSK (2:46am GMT). The docking took place in an automatic mode despite a minor malfunction that prevented one of the spacecraft’s solar panels from unfolding after separation from the booster. ...
