S88-E-5001 (12-04-98) --- Astronaut Jerry L. Ross, mission specialist, discovered incompatible connections involved in one of the STS-88 detailed test objectives (DTO), this one having to do with the crew's drinking water. The proper female counterpart for the connection was later found. DTO 691 is an in-cabin experiment dealing with a low-iodine residual system. Newly developed technology replacing the Galley Iodine Removal System (GIRA) is expected to reduce the concentration of iodine in the Shuttle's potable water system. The photo was taken with an electronic still camera (ESC) at 14:09:17 GMT, Dec. 4.
