Faulty alarm awakens ‘camping' space station crew

ISS News

William McArthur and Jeffrey Williams were spending the night in the station's Quest airlock in conditions of lower air pressure to test a new routine for preparing the body for a spacewalk. To prevent nitrogen bubbles from entering the bloodstream and causing painful decompression sickness, nitrogen needs to be expelled from the body before astronauts venture into space in their low-pressure space suits.

Usually, crew members breathe pure oxygen to purge the body of nitrogen. But spending time in a low-pressure environment may speed up the process from hours to minutes. So the two astronauts camped out in the closet-sized airlock on Monday and lowered its pressure from 14.7 pounds per square inch (psi) to 10.2 psi to test how well the airlock maintained its pressure and oxygen levels.
