Telstra has revealed the addition of almost one million new mobile services in the six months to December 2011, but Sensis revenues plummeted 24 percent in 12 months.
After several days of searching for a leak in the orbiter’s crew cabin, NASA engineers at the Kennedy Space Center have found that one of two pressure relief valves are faulty.
NASA and contractor engineers will check both valves, replace the bad one with a spare valve, and then test the integrity of the cabin’s pressure. The task is expected to be finished by Thursday, August 2, 2007, well ahead of the scheduled STS-118 launch on the seventh of August.
The valves are used to assure that the crew cabin, where the astronauts live and work, maintains a proper atmospheric pressure. When an overload condition arises, the properly working valves release pressure from inside the astronaut quarters.
A small problem was also found with Endeavour’s auxiliary power units (APUs). The thermostats are reporting off-norm (out of the normal range) values. However, the thermostats will not be replaced and a work-around will be implemented to accommodate the erroneous readings.
