NASA finds apparent sabotage
Someone intentionally damaged a computer intended for the International Space Station, NASA said Thursday. The computer had no command and control or navigation functions, according to Bill Gerstenmaier, associate administrator for space operations.
The damage would not have affected the astronauts, he said.
The shuttle Endeavour is supposed to take the computer to the space station after its August 7 launch.
The computer is to be installed in the U.S. laboratory to monitor sensors on the space station's truss.
"It will be repaired, and it will fly on this flight," Gerstenmaier said.
