Mir Status Report 12 January 1998
NASA MIR Program / Mir 24 / NASA 6 Status

Mir Station System/Subsystem Activities
The crew performed separation on the Base Block cooling loops KOB-1 and KOB-2 this afternoon after flight controllers detected air in those loops. All other systems continue to operate nominally as previously reported.
The pressure in the primary airlock (ShSO) has decreased to below 570 mmHg. Russian ground teams are continuing to investigate the situation to determine the correct course of action following the upcoming EVA.
Plans remain on schedule for EVA #7 this week. EVA times are currently shown as:
Crew wake DMT 14 Jan 16:45
Hatch Open DMT 14 Jan 23:40
Hatch Close DMT 15 Jan 02:15
Crew sleep DMT 15 Jan 07:45

Data Management
On Board -All MIPS files received on the 11th were corrupted. MOST believes there was a problem with the ground site. Dave has been asked to resend all of those files.
SMP/Medical — Dave performed Air Quality sampling today. This included the activation of the Solid Sorbent Air Samplers (SSAS) and Formaldehyde Monitoring. Grab Samples were completed in five locations. Dave reported that one GSC did not have a vacuum so he used a spare. This leaves two GCS’s onboard for the pre- and post-docking time period.
