 HOUSTON (AP) - Engineers tested Thursday whether a bad power feed going into the Russian side of the international space station was causing failures in computers that control the outpost's orientation and produce oxygen.
The feed may be disrupting the sensitive computers built by Daimler-Benz for the European Space Agency, said Mike Suffredini, NASA's space station program manager.
The power feed hooks up the Russian side to a pair of new solar arrays that were delivered to the space station by the shuttle Atlantis and connected to the orbiting outpost by two of Atlantis' crew members during a spacewalk Monday.
