This is How Russian Cosmonauts Opened the Hatch That Connects the Lab Module to the International Space StationLast week, Russian space agency Roscosmos' lab module docked with the International Space Station with a bit of drama: due to a software glitch, the module fired its thrusters which caused the space station to spin and tilt.After the situation was stabilized, the cosmonauts inside the Russian module, nicknamed 'Nauka' (Russian for 'science') were able to open the hatch that connect it to the space station and moved inside.The two cosmonauts, Oleg Novitsky and Pyotr Dubrov, took a video clip of their opening of the hatch. It's an interesting sight to see: Novitsky used a special key then he and Dubrov pushed the hatch directly outwards then swung it away before the cosmonaut went through it.At the end of the clip, there's a brief tour of the Nauka lab module.#InternationalSpaceStation #ISS #spacestation #NaukaModule #cosmonaut #Roscosmos #hatch
