More trouble at the International Space Station. The same cooling system that caused trouble in 2010 is back at it.
CBS reports:
The S1 pump module being replaced was installed during three spacewalks in August 2010 after the original unit suffered a short circuit that knocked its pump out of action. In this case, the pump in the replacement module is working normally, but the flow control valve is not regulating the ammonia temperature as required.
What I want to know is this: who made the pump, and are we getting any compensation from them for the apparently shoddy product they sold us?
