> 2. Even if there was a congress committee/investigation done, what changes can actually be instituted? Block any more Russian modules? There are certainly less dramatic measures that could have prevented this incident. To quote the article: > the Nauka module's autopilot apparently decided it was supposed to fly away from the station. Having such decisions protected by a physical switch comes to mind. A joint committee by all the nations involved in the ISS could require such measures before any module or spacecraft is allowed to dock. Establishing emergency overrides for firing thrusters to all ground control stations could have greatly reduced the impact. Why was the unexpected firing of thrusters detected so late? Better telemetry and their analysis could help. And so on. Lots of things that could be done if there was the will do to do them. Many more things could be done in response to a through root-cause analysis.
