MOSCOW (Reuters) -Russia sought to reassure international partners on Friday that an incident which briefly knocked the International Space Station (ISS) off course had been contained and said it would press ahead with integrating a newly-attached Russian module. The ISS was thrown off course on Thursday after the engines of the Russian Nauka, or 'science', research module fired up about three hours after it had latched on. Russian cosmonaut Oleg Novitsky on Friday told his followers on Twitter not to worry.
