* ISS crew resumes normal activities following computer shutdown: NASA
reports that operations have returned to normal aboard the International
Space Station after a computer crash. The crew's routine was interrupted the
morning of February 4 when a main computer in the Zvezda Service Module
unexpectedly went off-line, disrupting for a few hours the system that
controls the spacecraft's orientation. The crew and flight controllers spent
several hours correcting the problem. Expedition Four Commander Yury
Onufrienko, RK3DUO, and flight engineers Dan Bursch, KD5PNU, and Carl Walz,
KC5TIE, have resumed their everyday activities--including working with the
space station's science operations. NASA says the crew was never in any
danger, but quickly powered down backup equipment and several experiments in
case the power generated by the station's solar arrays began to drop. All
station systems now are operating normally, and the computer is on line.
Russian controllers continue to analyze the problem to determine its cause.
Information on the crew's activities aboard the space station, future launch
dates and times, as well as station sighting opportunities from anywhere on
Earth, is available on the NASA Human Spaceflight Web site
