Elektron Offline Again

NASA Space Station On-Orbit Status 8 June 2006

“Elektron is off, having shut down offnominally last night after running for several hours on 24 amps without apparent issues. Cause of the shutdown is currently unknown (suspect: the power supply), and troubleshooting by RSC-Energia will get underway tonight with diagnostic system tests. [There is no immediate impact, since oxygen represses can still be performed from either Progress 20P or 21P O2 tanks.]”
