Just jettison it into the atmosphere and send them down on something else.

It’s having problems with its RCS system

The thrusters that turn the craft around and allow precise movement aren’t working properly, they barely got the thing to dock with the ISS.

Despite what nasa says publicly, I’m sure there’s a lot of internal debate about if it’s even safe to undock the thing from the station. If it loses orientation control while still close to the ISS, it could easily damage the station and kill people. That’s if some of the damaged thrusters aren’t the ones that allow the craft to go backwards, kind of important if you want to leave the station.

Is leaving it docked to the station with leaks contributing to any drift in the movements of the station's orbit?

[–] Zron 9 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Right now nothing is leaking.

The leaks are only present when the fuel system is open or ready to fire

Schrodingers leaks

You know you had 5 leaks yesterday, but you don't know how many actual leaks you'll have until you turn it on and look again.

Well, that's a relief.
