The International Space Station has a few rather large labs onboard. This labs need coolant to operate correctly. Today NASA reported that they had some coolant problems which made the shut down parts of the ISS.
The crew had a very rude awakening as the coolant problem was reported as a short circuit at first, and the end result was a multiple alarms going off.
They don’t yet know what happen, but they know it was something to do with the pump module in the ammonia coolant loop.
Hopefully this will get fixed quickly, and hopefully none of their parts need to be jettisoned.
If you have any questions or comments please feel free to comment.
