International Space Station (ISS) program managers, flight controllers, and engineers are currently hard at work analysing the recovery plan following the failure to successfully install Main Bus Switching Unit-1 (MBSU-1) during US EVA-18 on Thursday. While the ISS is currently in a stable configuration, managers wish to get MBSU-1 installed as soon as possible in order to restore the ISS back to full power capability – deciding on a new EVA to take place on Wednesday.
