The boring space
On August 11, at 23:30 Moscow time, about 3 hours after the American astronauts Rick Mastrakyo and David Williams went out into open space, the main command-control computer of the American segment of the station declined. Its functions were transferred to the duplicating equipment.
The computer failure did not create any threat to the astronauts working on board or to the people on the ISS. Initially, the possible causes of the breakdown, which NASA called "mysterious", were not announced.
Later, from the text of the radio talks of Russian cosmonauts with the Central Space Administration, it became known that one of the American astronauts turned off the TBU and all the sockets, because he wanted to photograph in complete darkness, but the lights on the instrument panel interfered with him, and he turned off everything that shines, which was accidentally discovered by one of the Russian cosmonauts.
