SpaceX is facing toilet troubles in its capsules before it launches more astronauts into space. The company and Nasa want to make sure the toilet leaks will not compromise the capsule launching early on Sunday from Kennedy Space Center, or another one that has been parked at the International Space Station since April. According to William Gerstenmaier, a SpaceX vice-president who used to work for Nasa, a tube came unglued during SpaceXs first private flight last month, spilling urine on to fans and beneath the floor. Weve fixed this problem in the tank by essentially making it an all-welded structure, with no longer a joint in there that can come unglued and become disconnected, said Gerstenmaier. Nasa is currently reviewing the last-minute fix. We at the commercial crew program have a little bit of work to do with SpaceX leading forward to flight, said Steve Stich, Nasas commercial crew program manager in a press briefing on Monday night. In the Dragon capsule, currently in orbit, less urine pooled beneath the floor panels than the one that carried a billionaire and three others on a three-day flight, said Gerstenmaier because the Nasa-led crew only spent a day living in the capsule before arriving at the space station. Gersteinmaier also said that SpaceX is conducting tests to ensure the spilled liquid did not damage the orbiting capsule over the past six months. Any structural damage could endanger astronauts on their flight back to Earth next month. The final tests should be completed later this week, he said. Engineers will present new data on the capsules toilet system and other aspects of the mission to management during a review on Friday. What were looking for is tiny clues or tiny, tiny imperfections, that somebody might look at a plot and wonder: why did that temperature go up here, or this pressure change here, said Stich. So you really just try to dig into all those sorts of things and try to understand those, and then improve things and fly safely. Sundays launch will mark SpaceXs fourth launch of Nasa astronauts and its fifth passenger flight overall. Following the retirement of the shuttle fleet in 2011, Nasa turned to SpaceX and Boeing to transport crews to and from the space station. --- Newsom 2022 ... Copied to Clipboard!
