  • International Space Station Status Report #04-32
    8 p.m. CDT Thursday, June 24, 2004
    Expedition 9 Crew

    A spacewalk intended to replace a faulty circuit breaker on the
    exterior of the International Space Station was cut short when
    the primary oxygen bottle on Astronaut Mike Fincke�s Russian
    space suit began losing pressure faster than expected.

    The overall pressure in Fincke's suit remained stable at all
    times and he was not in danger. A backup oxygen tank available on
    his suit was not needed.

    Fincke and Expedition 9 Commander Gennady Padalka opened the
    Pirs docking compartment hatch at 4:56 p.m. CDT. Immediately
    after Fincke floated out of the airlock, flight controllers in
    Moscow saw readings that indicated the primary oxygen bottle on
    Fincke�s suit was losing pressure.

    The two spacewalkers returned to the airlock and closed the
    hatch about 14 minutes later. After conducting preliminary
    troubleshooting activities, Padalka and Fincke were asked to
    remove the Orlan-M spacesuits and assist with troubleshooting of
    Fincke�s suit. Russian flight controllers could not immediately
    determine the cause of the malfunction.

    Fincke and Padalka then climbed out of the suits, returned to
    the Station's living quarters and began working with ground
    controllers to reconfigure the Station�s systems for normal
    operations. The duration of Fincke and Padalka's spacewalk was 14
    minutes, 22 seconds.

    Mission managers in Houston and Moscow agreed to conduct further
    evaluation of the problem before setting a new target date for
    the spacewalk. The earliest the spacewalk could now be performed
    is June 29 based on Russian ground communications coverage.

    Fincke told Mission Control in Houston that he was pleased
    flight controllers in Moscow had discovered the oxygen tank
    problem so quickly, and thanked both control teams for their
    efforts. He indicated the crew would sleep late tomorrow, and
    then resume their regular sleep schedule until it was time to
    prepare for another spacewalk.

    The spacewalk's goal is to replace a Remote Power Controller
    Module (RPCM) which houses a faulty circuit breaker, through
    which power is routed to one of the Control Moment Gyroscopes
    (CMGs).

    There are four CMGs in the Station's Z1 truss. They control the
    orientation of the ISS in space. CMG 1 failed about two years
    ago, and will be replaced during the next Shuttle mission. CMG 2
    was taken off line by the April 21 failure of the circuit breaker
    and should be restored by the RPCM's replacement. Meanwhile, two
    functioning CMGs adequately control the station's attitude.

    Information on the crew's activities aboard the Space Station,
    future launch dates, as well as Station sighting opportunities
    from anywhere on the Earth, is available on the Internet at:

    Details on Station science operations can be found on an
    Internet site administered by the Payload Operations Center at
    NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Ala., at:

    The next ISS status report will be issued as events warrant.
