  Title: STS-35 stowage volume G with contingency water container (CWC) onboard OV-102
  Description:
  During STS-35, middeck stowage volume G and a contingency water container 
  (CWC) were utilized to remedy a problem onboard Columbia, Orbiter Vehicle 
  (OV) 102.  A hose connecting OV-102's waste water system to the CWC was
  used  in order to bypass a suspected clog in the line from the waste water
  tank to  the exit nozzle.  On flight day seven, Pilot Guy S. Gardner
  carried out an  inflight maintenance (IFM) procedure by connecting a spare
  hose from the line  to the container.  The CWC is a rubber-lined duffle bag
  that holds about 95  pounds of water and is used in situations where water
  cannot be dumped  overboard normally.
