Nasa insists there wasn't any immediate danger to the crew.
The International Space Station's been knocked out of position by a new Russian science lab.
The newly-arrived lab accidentally fired its thrusters, knocking the ISS off its orientation for around 45 minutes.
Communication between the station and ground controllers was also cut - twice - for a short time.
Nasa insists there wasn't any immediate danger to the crew.
ICYMI: Earlier today, the Russian Nauka module inadvertently fired its thrusters while docked to the @Space_Station. Mission Control teams corrected the action and all systems are operating normally. The crew was never in any danger. Stay tuned for a media telecon later today: pic.twitter.com/bjuDmdiZu5
