Hurricane Ike Impact Felt In Space
Oct 18, 2008 00:41

HOUSTON — Hurricane Ike has delayed the scheduled Friday arrival of a Russian Progress cargo ship at the International Space Station 220 miles above Earth. The Progress docking was postponed when the space station’s control room at NASA’s Johnson Space Center in Houston was closed Thursday because of the approaching storm. Control of the space station was handed to flight controllers at backup facilities near Austin, Texas, and Huntsville, Ala. Because the Mission Control Center in Houston is responsible for commanding many of the station’s systems, U.S. and Russian officials agreed to delay the docking.
