If you don't know the direction of the Kaaba', then you try approximating. if you can't, then pray facing any direction. I don't know where the other ones come from, but this is not coming from the council, but a hadeeth.
The rules I listed there are what's in that booklet I mentioned for the specific case of being aboard the ISS, I'm not saying that they're general guidance for all Muslims. I don't know if there's a more appropriate word than "council" for the group of people that put it together for the Angkasawan program, though
The guidance in that booklet was based off the scriptures, so you're both right 👍
I am not saying that the rules are wrong, just that most of them are from a hadeeth. So the council could've just used that instead of making the booklet, but it's still interesting that they did.
Would that rule apply here though, because the Cosmonaut does have knowledge about where Kaaba' is. The problem would be that with the speeds in question the Kaaba' doesn't (relative to the Cosmonaut) stay there very long.
All that matters is their intention to face the Kaaba, not whether or not they actually do so
