Space Station Live: Responding to the Unexpected

NASA Public Affairs Officer Dan Huot talks with International Space Station Program Manager Mike Suffredini about the quick response on orbit and in Mission Control Houston to indications of a possible ammonia leak in the U.S. Operating Segment of the vehicle which prompted evacuation of the crew members to the Russian segment of the station.

The latest indications are that there was not an actual leak of ammonia, and flight controllers are working through the procedures to get all systems back to full operation so the crew can return to the US segment of the station.
