Space Station Urine Recycler Fails Test - Repair MadeAround noon on Sunday Mission Control in Houston gave International Space Station Commander Mike Fincke a "go" to begin processing the first Urine Processor Assembly (UPA) sample since a new Distillation Assembly was installed in the UPA earlier in the mission. It usually takes between four and five hours to process samples. At approximately 12:46 PM on Sunday Mission Control began to evaluate an issue with the Urine Processor Assembly (UPA) because the rate of urine flowing into the UPA was much slower than expected. NASA said the issue is not related to the newly-installed Distillation Assembly but they terminated the troubleshooting of the UPA for the day.
