The restrooms in the American Destiny cabin are broken, please use the restrooms in the Russian Zavezda component. Tonight, the second spacewalk
The space station's robotic arm installed the mobile cargo carrier stored in the shuttle Endeavour's cargo hold, on top of the rail on the outer side of the space station. The arm was operated by astronaut Julie Fayette and her colleague Tim Cooper.
The cargo includes spare parts for the space station that astronauts Dave Wolff and Tom Mashburn will drive today (Monday) to the storage platform on the outside of the P3 component as part of the second spacewalk of the STS-127 mission.
And in the meantime, the 13 crew members of the station and the shuttle, as well as the flight control personnel from the ground, tried to solve a toilet problem in the American component Destiny. This is one of two toilet facilities located at the station. First indications show that the liquid separator in the toilet is overflowing. The toilet was uploaded to the station on Space Shuttle mission STS-126 and later installed by the station crew.
Although this is an inconvenience, no serious problem has arisen because the station's six crew members will be able to use the restroom facility on the Russian Zavezda component, and the seven Endeavor crew members will be using the shuttle's restroom.
