Date: April 6th, 2026 5:33 AM Author: UN peacekeeper Engineers continue to do some troubleshooting with the Orion spacecraft.
After experiencing intermittent problems the first few days, the astronauts are able to use the toilet without restrictions. However, engineers still do not understand why wastewater is not quite flowing out into space as designed. “It’s kind of a complex engineering issue,” Rick Henfling, one of the flight directors, said. “When you expose a liquid to vacuum, it’s a pretty chaotic environment.”
They also still do not know what caused a burning odor reported by the astronauts on Saturday.
“Right now, there isn’t any root cause identified as to what that source is,” Mr. Henfling said. |
