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.
