ISS Crew Still Breathing After Oxygen Generator Failure

Controllers Use Reserve Tank To Replenish O2 Supply

The bad news is that the oxygen generation system on board the International Space Station is malfunctioning -- again. The good news is that there's enough O2 in reserve to keep the crew breathing for several months, if necessary.

Florida Today reports the glitchy 02 generator stopped functioning last weekend. Since then, Cosmonaut Salizhan Shapirov has tried three times to get it going again -- to no avail.

But NASA spokesman Rob Navias said there's enough oxygen coming from various sources to last Shapirov and his American crewmate, Leroy Chiao, until well after the next scheduled docking of a Russian Progress resupply vessel on March 2nd. Among them: Two weeks worth of 02 in tanks delivered by a Progress ship that docked Christmas Day and six weeks worth of solid-fuel oxygen cartridges now on board.

NASA said efforts to repair the faulty generation system would continue.
