I don't know if it's my stream or if people've swamped NASA TV... but I managed to catch Rob saying that MCC-M have disabled dynamic attitude adjustment and are currently not attempting to stop the spin.Anyone else catch that?
Hope someone is grabbing that spin video .....wow
Yes, I think they are probably worried about depleting thruster propellant?
Yes. I think the thinking behind that is that this might be a failure in the Motion Control System (MCS) and it is confusing the Progress as to its true attitude. This could explain the multiple Rate Sensor failure messages obtained during the last telemetry downlink.

This could explain the multiple Rate Sensor failure messages obtained during the last telemetry downlink.(Emphasis mine)Both make sense.Also, @DaveS: They broke down TLM data? Where?
1. Off nominal orbit
Well I didn't expect to come back to this news. Thanks for the coverage. Any way out of Loss Of Vehicle here?
