The crew aboard Russia's Mir space station on Tuesday (19/8) searched for the fault that knocked out the on-board computer system and left Mir drifting in orbit.
Until it's fixed, they have to monitor all data themselves and cannot restore Mir's stable alignment to the sun allowing the station's solar panels to produce supplies of energy.
