Entire orbital outpost pitched out of its normal flight position some 400km above the Earth.

A software glitch, and possible lapse in human attention, were to blame for throwing the International Space Station out of control, but work was proceeding to activate a newly attached module at the centre of the mishap, said Russian space officials on Friday.
