Default International Space Station fly over

It went over last night, but apparently will be clearer tonight at 6:55pm, if anyone sees it then they can have a tangerine as a prize

Default Contact lost with space station

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-21512322

Quote:
Nasa ground controllers have lost contact with the International Space Station because of a computer problem.

Flight controllers in Houston were updating software on board the ISS's flight computers this afternoon (GMT) when one of the station's data relay systems broke down.

But the ISS has been able to make contact intermittently via Russian ground stations.

Nasa told the crew to connect a backup computer to begin restoring contact.

The primary computer that controls critical station functions defaulted to a backup computer, but it was not letting the station communicate with Nasa's Tracking and Data Relay Satellites, the US space agency said.
