A new Russian module misfired inadvertently, causing a ‘tug of war’

NASA officials were quick to downplay the severity of the incident, describing it as a “pretty exciting hour” and a “dynamic event.”

“Until you exhaust all your contingency plans, that’s when you start to worry and today we just weren’t there,” said Montalbano.

Yet Montalbano also acknowledged that accidental firings of thrusters have only taken place “maybe three or four times” during the 20 years that the space station has been in orbit.
