"Astronauts on the Artemis II mission are expected to reach the far side of the moon, venturing deeper into space than any humans before them. NASA has reported satisfaction with progress toward the lunar fly-round since the team's launch on Wednesday."
"The crew have reported persistent problems with one of the Orion capsule's most crucial pieces of equipment: the toilet. Until the lunar loo is fixed, mission control has instructed the astronauts to continue using backup urine collection bags."
"Debbie Korth, NASA's Orion programme deputy manager, said the astronauts had also reported a smell coming from the bathroom, which is buried in the floor of the capsule with a door and curtain for privacy."
The Artemis II mission is on track to reach the far side of the moon, marking a historic journey for astronauts. NASA is pleased with the mission's progress since launch. The crew, consisting of three Americans and one Canadian, is expected to break the record for maximum distance from Earth. However, they are experiencing issues with the Orion capsule's toilet, which has malfunctioned and requires the use of backup collection bags. Engineers suspect ice blockage as the cause of the problem.
