MLM Nauka docks to ISS, malfunctions shortly thereafter
After successfully docking to the station, roughly three hours later at 12:45 EDT / 16:45 UTC after cosmonauts had opened Zvezda’s hatch to Nauka, the new module suddenly began firing its thrusters without command.
However, Nauka’s thrusters kept firing erroneously, and the two modules were essentially fighting each other, with Nauka pushing the ISS out of alignment and Zvezda trying to but not being able to fully correct.
