Impact of space station spin requires study, official says

Space engineers will analyse whether a glitch that caused the International Space Station to spin out of its normal orientation could have impacted any of its systems, a Russian space official said Wednesday.

Sergei Krikalev, the director of crewed space programs at the Russian space corporation Roscosmos, emphasised that last week’s incident did not inflict any observable damage to the space station but he said that experts would need to study its potential implications.
