  Title: STS-46 ESA MS Nicollier conducts IFM on OV-104's waste collection system
  Description:
  STS-46 European Space Agency (ESA) Mission Specialist (MS) Claude
  Nicollier,  wearing goggles, face mask, and rubber gloves, reviews inflight
  maintenance  (IFM) checklist procedures before starting waste collection
  system (WCS) fan  separator repair.  One of two fan separators used to
  transfer waster water  from the waste management compartment (WMC) to the
  waste water tank has  failed.  The suspected accumulation of water in the
  separator was believed to  have occurred during a test dumping of waste
  water at a lower than normal  pressure to evaluate the performance of new
  nozzles.  The WMC is located on  the middeck of Atlantis, Orbiter Vehicle
  (OV) 104.
