The other two systems continued to operate normally, and operations on the orbital outpost were unaffected. Roscosmos said there was no need to replace the system that suffered the glitch.<\/p>\n<p>Roscosmos didn\u2019t go into detail about the cause of the computer crash.<\/p>\n<p>The glitch was the latest in a string of technical issues affecting Russian space hardware. In August, the space station\u2019s crew had to&nbsp;plug up an air leak in a Russian Soyuz spacecraft&nbsp;that\u2019s currently docked to the station. And last month, a Soyuz rocket&nbsp;suffered an anomaly that aborted the launch&nbsp;of two new crew members to the station.<\/p>\n<p>The quick resolution of this week\u2019s computer problem means the three spacefliers aboard the space station can turn their attention more fully to a pair of robotic cargo deliveries scheduled to be made next week by a Russian Progress supply ship and a Northrop Grumman Cygnus cargo carrier.<\/p>\n<p>In preparation for those deliveries, an uncrewed Japanese HTV-7 cargo ship was set loose from the station on Wednesday. The Japanese Aerospace Exploration Agency\u2019s spacecraft, filled with trash, is due to burn up during atmospheric re-entry on Saturday \u2014 but not before releasing a small capsule designed to test JAXA\u2019s ability to return research payloads to Earth.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A picture taken from the International Space Station shows Japan\u2019s robotic HTV-7 cargo ship being released from the station\u2019s Canadian robotic arm.
