No stress, it will work. See even without main engine they manage with RCS thrusters. ?
 
No problem if it just takes much longer than planned.
There should be some experts that have gained enough experience with low-thrust maneuvers out there, after several ion-thrusted vehicles.
Or do they have any "fresh goods" on board that gets "smelly" after a week or two[*]?

[*] Batteries should hold - having working solar arrays. (RCS-)Propellant should be pretty stable - assuming no leaks. Anything I missed?

Click to expand...
Propellant: there is a good margin (in case of aborted docking), but if the orbit is raised "too slow" there is the extra atmospheric drag and the orbital plane drift will be different from the ISS, so more propellant will be needed.

Yes, the fact that PIRS will have to be undocked before Nauka arrives does leave the risk open of not being able to have either one of them should Nauka fail to dock.
 
Rob Navias keeps talking about this "Naioka" module... :LOL:
