Russian oxygen production system fails on the ISS

Failures of these systems sometimes occur on the ISS, but the station has oxygen reserves, said specialists from the Moscow Region Mission Control Center.

On the Russian segment of the International Space Station (ISS), the oxygen production system has failed. On Wednesday October 14, RIA Novosti reports with reference to the crew’s negotiations with Earth, which are broadcast by NASA.

As a Russian cosmonaut reported to a specialist at the Moscow Region Mission Control Center, the Electron-VM oxygen production system installed in the Russian Zvezda module was out of order.

It should be noted that the station has oxygen reserves for “such a case”.

It is specified that the US segment of the ISS has its own oxygen production system.

Russian cosmonauts Anatoly Ivanishin, Ivan Wagner, Sergei Ryzhikov, and Sergei Kud-Sverchkov, as well as NASA astronauts Christopher Cassidy and Kathleen Rubins, are currently working on the station.

It was previously reported that the International Space Station failed to eliminate the air leak in the Russian Zvezda module by taping the welding seams together.

In addition, the International Space Station (ISS) repaired a broken toilet in the Russian Zvezda module.
