NASA was forced to use backup hardware at mission control for the first time after a power outage cut off voice and telemetry communications with the space station.
A brief power outage at NASA’s mission control center in Houston caused a voice communications blackout with the International Space Station and forced the space agency to rely on backup systems for the first time.
“It wasn’t an issue on board. It was purely a ground problem,” he said, adding that NASA was able to communicate with the crew via Russian systems within 20 minutes after the outage began. But the outage did affect the hardware that provides key communications, including voice contact and telemetry, or data about the space station’s pressure levels, power and position.
“We knew this was going on,” Montalbano said. “In preparation for that we have the backup command and control system that we would use if we have to close the center for a weather emergency.”
