Just a note: I haven't been able to find the Expedition 23/24 Press Kit.  Most likely this will appear just before the April 2 launch.

["most likely" - based on the past several Expedition flight kits...]

new camera angle - cupola window open -

Would be kind of neat every once in a while to have a camera mounted in the cupola looking out to give us an astronauts point of view... just a thought  :)

With the UPA (Urine Processor Assembly) continuing to run nominally, producing water from urine, Noguchi performed another fill of the UPA WSTA (Wastewater Storage Tank Assembly), from a Russian EDV-U (urine collector-water container), using an electric pump.

TVIS Anomaly: During today’s monthly TVIS (Treadmill with Vibration Isolation & Stabilization) inspection Oleg Kotov reported 2 of 4 Gyroscope Wire Ropes were failed. The TVIS is No Go for exercise until the ropes are replaced. The Russian crewmembers will use T2 until TVIS can be repaired. There is one complete replacement set of ropes stowed on ISS and available for R&R.

WPA Failure: The Water Processor Assembly suffered a failure yesterday due to a temperature fault related to a catalyst reactor. The discrepancy could be a result of a large amount of cold water through the system. The crew is currently collecting water in the waste water bus and not processing WPA. Therefore, if WPA is not recovered in the next day, the water will have to be put in other containers.
