Flight control outside Moscow lost contact with Mir
around 3 p.m. (1200 GMT) on Monday and only re-established the link
yesterday afternoon after several failed attempts. “There has been communication and now we are analyzing the data,” the official, who did not give his name, told reporters at Mission Control outside Moscow. Mir is only accessible for certain periods as the 130-ton station orbits the earth. The loss of contact with the 15-year-old spacecraft on Monday sparked intense activity by Russian space experts to restore radio signals with the unmanned craft and avert a potential catastrophe. Contact was briefly restored yesterday for seven minutes, Valery Lydin, head of the Russian Flight Control press service said, before losing it again. |
