After the repeated failure of the toilet on the Russian segment of the International Space Station, experts suggested there was a bubble in the system.
On the Russian segment of the International Space Station (ISS), a sanitary sewer device (ACS), that is, a toilet, failed again. Russian cosmonaut Anatoly Ivanishin reported this to the Mission Control Center, the TASS news agency reported on October 19.
According to a crew member, a “poor quality preservative” light is on in the toilet.
The Mission Control Center believes that a bubble has formed in the ACS and promised to issue recommendations on how to deal with the problem.
TASS notes that the toilet on the Russian segment of the ISS broke down on October 8 and 10, the toilet on the US segment of the station malfunctioned in November 2019.
The ISS has two toilets, which are also on the Soyuz MS-16 manned spacecraft docked to the station, the agency notes.
Russian cosmonauts Ivanishin, Ivan Wagner, Sergei Ryzhikov, and Sergei Kud-Sverchkov, as well as NASA astronauts Christopher Cassidy and Kathleen Rubins are currently working on the International Space Station.
