NASA is only now resuming its normal flight control duties with the International Space Station after Hurricane Ike temporarily closed the Johnson Space Center, home of NASA’s Mission Control Center.
The MCC is now back to normal flight support for the ISS and its three-person crew, having been re-opened by NASA personel after the building was closed due to the storm, which damaged its roof.
The Russian-American crew aboard the International Space Station had to wait four extra days for additional food, supplies, and fuel when the Russian Progress cargo ship, which was launched on September 10, 2008, was stalled in orbit.
It was waiting for NASA support to resume at Mission Control, so that its ISS flight controllers could help direct the Russian supply ship to a rendezvous and docking with the Space Station.
The unmanned Soyuz Progress M-65 ship eventually docked with the ISS on Thursday, September 18, 2008, a little over four days after its originally scheduled docking time.
RussiaToday.com reports, “Besides equipment, fuel, water and food the cosmonauts also received sweets, fruit, DVDs and presents from their families.” [RussiaToday.com: “Progress docks with space station”]
