All data indicated nominal operations of all EMU systems,\u2019 added the information. \u2018A review of all of the EMU softgoods and associated paper has been completed and there is no indication of an off gassing issue as the cause of the odor. <\/p>\n \u2018One EVA has finished the N2 testing well ahead of schedule. All of the results from the N2 test program have been converted due to the use of N2 vs. O2, and reviewed by the team. All data indicates that all EMU systems are functioning properly.\u2019 <\/p>\n Further testing was conducted via test stand runs and analyses on gas, water and swab samples, all pointing towards the incident not being a combustion event.<\/p>\n \u2018The gas sample analyses and the gas filter analyses have been completed with no indication of the presence of combustion products. This is not conclusive, but it is yet another indication that there was likely not a combustion event.\u2019<\/p>\n As to what caused the smell of smoke is at present unknown, though engineers are looking \u2018up stream\u2019 of the test, such as the supply lines, although this is a secondary objective of testing. The priority was to clear the EMUs for use on orbit ahead of EVA-11 next week \u2013 vital to the completion of stage work ahead of the launch of STS-122 next month.<\/p>\n \u2018The facility portion of the investigation is also being addressed, to determine if a combustion event upstream of the EMU could have been the source of the odor. Gas and particulate sampling of the facility supply lines has been completed,\u2019 added the information.<\/p>\n \u2018So far the team had been focusing on system testing and sample analysis to determine the presence of combustion products in order to indicate or rule out the incident being the result of a combustion event. <\/p>\n \u2018That will form the basis of the rationale to resume EMU O2 operations on-orbit or in the ground labs. Locating the source of the odor is a secondary objective behind resumption of operations. A test plan is being developed to evaluate the condition of the METOX (metal oxide canisters) can to see if it was the possible source of the odor.\u2019<\/p>\n With the testing showing the source of the smoke smell was not a result of a malfunctioning EMU, NASA will give final clearance to remove the ban on spacewalks, thus allowing EVA-11 to proceed as planned.<\/p>\n \u2018Assuming no setbacks during the O2 testing, (we are) is still on track to provide MOD (Mission Operations Directorate) with a GO for EMU Water recharge, and is also on track to present rationale for GO for all EMU operations at the IMMT on Thursday morning in preparation for EVA 11.\u2019<\/p>\n UPDATE: The IMMT has now cleared the EMUs for operation on orbit.<\/p>\n \u2018The MIB <\/b>(Mishap Investigation Board<\/b>) that evaluated the results from the chamber EMU inspection..and has cleared the on-orbit suits for the normal EMU water recharge <\/b>(the original Flight Rule limit of 48 hrs for post-EVA recharge was extended to 7 days<\/b>). The EMUs have the Go for spacewalk use,\u2019 noted Thursday\u2019s On Orbit Status report. **STARLIGHT: NEW STS-117 MISSION REVIEW MUSIC VIDEO** \u2013 STS-118 Mission review video also available.<\/font><\/em><\/font> <\/em><\/font><\/p>\n **ROCK YOU LIKE A HURRICANE: STS-117 MISSION REVIEW MUSIC VIDEO \u2013 AS SEEN BY THE STS-117 CREW!!**<\/font> -.
