Disconnection with ISS and other satellites in Russia
Living in our huge country and working every day for its benefit in the field of IT, I could not think that this could happen ... and it took and happened. Yesterday, 11/14/12, the valiant installers of one of the Russian providers (Akado Telecom), mistakenly cut two segments of fiber optic cables, which disrupted communication channels with civilian satellites and the Russian segment of the ISS. Communication with satellites was restored via backup channels, and American communications are used to transmit commands to the ISS. An official spokesman for the RF Ministry of Defense indirectly confirmed communication problems, stating that military satellites were transferred to backup channels. Based on materials Lenta.ru. Fakap month, not otherwise.
