Artemis II: NASA's A-Team Fixes Space Toilet Hours Before Launch

• Artemis II crew reported a glitch with the Orion spacecraft's space toilet just hours before launch.
• Mission specialist Christina Koch identified an issue with the Universal Waste Management System, specifically the urine collection and disposal fan.
• NASA spokesperson Gary Jordan confirmed the toilet fan was jammed, prompting ground teams to provide instructions for repair.
• NASA's director of flight operations, Norm Knight, stated the malfunction was due to a controller issue, but astronauts could still use it for fecal collection.
• Engineers successfully resolved the issue, and Koch later confirmed the toilet was fully operational, ensuring smooth waste management for the lunar mission.
