NASA: Space station power system radiator leaking
WASHINGTON (AP) -- The International Space Station has a radiator leak in its power system. The outpost's commander calls the situation serious, but not life-threatening.

The six-member crew on Thursday noticed white flakes of ammonia leaking out of the station. Ammonia runs through multiple radiator loops to cool the station's power system. NASA said the leak is increasing from one previously leaking loop that can be bypassed if needed. NASA spokesman Bob Jacobs said engineers are working on rerouting electronics just in case the loop shuts down. The Earth-orbiting station has backup systems.

Space station Commander Chris Hadfield of Canada tweeted that the problem, while serious, was stabilized. Officials will know more Friday.

The space station always has enough emergency escape ships for the crew, but there are no plans to use them.

Not news unless explosion

Seriously though, this doesn't seem to be a major issue.

Not the first time, not the last.

There is a space walk planned for tomorrow to do the repair work.

The ISS is a very complex outpost.

Astronauts Cassidy and Marshburn assigned to this space walk have already conducted two space walks changing batteries on the same section of the ISS where they will be working tomorrow. This was during the STS-127 mission in July 2009.

During tomorrows space walk they will assess the damage and if necessary they will change the pump module.

After this there will still be space walks required (one or more) to refill the system with ammonia and re-pressurize it with nitrogen.

Crew Preparing for Possible Spacewalk Saturday

Following Thursday's identification of an ammonia coolant leak outside the International Space Station, the Expedition 35 crew Friday began preparing for a possible spacewalk Saturday. Mission managers are discussing the information that was gathered overnight about the leak on the far left-side of the station's truss structure, called the P6 with P standing for port. A final decision on whether to go forward with a spacewalk is not expected until late tonight.

The crew is not in danger, and the station continues to operate normally otherwise.
Work is underway to reroute power channels to maintain full operation of the systems normally controlled by the solar array that is cooled by the suspect loop.

close


the crew will eject from the ISS and go the wrong way and hit the sun releasing an X100 flare and CME will hit north korea and set off a nuke which will hit the new madrid and split the usa in half and blow up the salt dome, this is 100% fact

Crew abandons ISS.....
 Quoting: Jack Stowage 17676514


There's no plans for the crew to abandon the ISS. They all take turns staying 5 months by groups of 3 and when a team leaves they get a replacement team a week or two later.

They know about coming objects. They can raise or lower their orbit to avoid these objects and then go back to proper orbit and they go on with their work.

It takes a Soyuz a mere 3 hours to do the descent from the ISS down to landing in the steppes of Kazakhstan. The Soyuz module descent is brutal to say the least then they deploy the chutes for landing yet still brutal.




It took the last Soyuz 6 hours from launch to docking to the ISS - the fastest trip ever.
