It is a power supply system, water recycling system of condensation on the production of oxygen and removal of carbon dioxide, a heat supply and toilet. The astronauts will be forced to use a longer supply of batteries, these will have to wait a long time. When it will arrive the next cargo ship – it is not clear for the beginning professionals need to understand what happened to progress. Recall that the cargo ship shortly after the start lost contact with flight control center. Take control of the progress and failed, he began to fall randomly.
