The Triumph experienced propulsion issues on prior voyages in mid-January, and on January 28, "there was an incident which resulted in damage to the Triumph's ... propulsion system and generators, " the suit said.
This includes a completely different propulsion system, larger solar panels, and also the orbital module (which is designed to function on its own, as a sort of space station, for six to eight months).
From news that Germany met half the country's energy needs with solar power to an Egyptian teenager who built a new quantum space propulsion system, 2012 was a big year for clean tech.
The fire is at least the second problem for the ship since late January, when it had an issue with its propulsion system, according to a notice posted to Carnival senior cruise director John Heald's website.
Any new propulsion system has got to at least match what drivers are used to-it has to be fast, it has to last, it has to start up and run smoothly in every kind of weather, and it can't cost tens of thousands of dollars.
This time, Dragon capsule's sensors, navigation computers and automated propulsion system, never before fully tested in the harsh environment of space, are supposed to maneuver the capsule in a weightless ballet to within 1.5 miles of the space station and then maintain control as Dragon drifts closer.
The company numbers Boeing, Airbus and Lockheed Martin among its customers of propulsion-system components and aerostructures--such items as engine housings and fuselage parts.
