Crew Begins New Year With Maintenance Work
Station Crew Begins New Year With Maintenance Work
Expedition 10 Commander Leroy Chiao and Flight Engineer Salizhan Sharipov enjoyed a long weekend of light duty to kick off the new year aboard the International Space Station. With the exception of a few daily tasks and maintenance, Chiao and Sharipov had some well deserved time off Saturday and Sunday. Monday, the crew spent a few hours trying to troubleshoot gas bubbles in the plumbing of the Elektron oxygen-generation system, which shut down Saturday morning. Two initial efforts to flush the bubbles out of the lines were unsuccessful. They will return to a full work schedule on Tuesday, including additional troubleshooting of the Elektron and resumption of scientific experiments.
