Then trouble was a Russian
communications
device was down onboard the station (the FGB MDM2), and it would
take 3
orbits to fix.
They had to use the Moscow Ground
Stations
to talk to the station instead and you can only do that when you
are flying
over Russia. They had to power down the space station before the
astronauts
on the spacewalk connected the power cables!
There was also a problem that sent the shuttle into free drift and so they had to reconfigure the Digital Auto Pilot. I think it was a problem with the Vernier jets being down. Then they had an RCS Jet failure right after that.
