there's nothing about a heater cycling that we can correlate to the smell. Uh there's nothing about the the usage of of
there's nothing about the the usage of the toilet that would uh cause an increase in the concentration to cause a more acute smell or a more mild smell.
Um so right now the there's there isn't any root cause identified as to what that source is. Um but we're continuing to to proceed with uh the mission and the and the use of the toilet nominally.
leans against use of the toilet.
Uh the the crew members are able to use the toilet. Um but we are still trying to to figure out the the wastewater vent line problem.
Uh it's kind of a a complex engineering issue when you expose a liquid to uh to vacuum, uh there's a it's a pretty chaotic environment and there's a lot of theory and and textbook work done when you assume it's pure water being exposed to a vacuum.
Uh but when you introduce the variable of of it being wastewater, um there's other complex phenomena that we don't quite yet understand that are that are factoring into to that vent line.
