-From: dietz@cs.rochester.edu (Paul Dietz) -Subject: Re: Bio-sphere II -Date: 21 Jan 93 13:18:03 GMT -Organization: University of Rochester -I have read, however, that the Shuttle is pretty rank at the end of a -flight. Is this true? During one of the STS-54 press conferences (near the end of the mission) it was mentioned that there was an odor from the "wet trash" (banana peels, food wrappers, etc.), but not from the new WCS. Apparently the trash bin is supposed to be ventilated by a vacuum line (not sure whether there's a pump involved, or whether they just run a pipe to the outside), and they determined that there was a vacuum on the line, so they weren't quite sure what the problem was. I think the air from the WCS is run through a chemical filter and fed back into the cabin. Since they made a point of remarking on it, I'd guess there usually isn't too much of a problem with odor.
