As in the 2008 field test,7 having a dedicated stowage area, trash management system, and odor control became the issues, with odor control being rated totally unacceptable (mean = 8.5). Like other systems in the SEV, the trash management system was redesigned to help correct these issues. The new system was to take the daily trash, put it into a medium-sized Space Bag®, and vacuum seal the bag at the end of each day (Figure 29). After collecting 3 days' worth of trash, the crew would transfer the three medium Space Bags® into one large Space Bag® and vacuum seal the bag and transfer it out using the SPTM. The first issue occurred when the crew ended up putting 3 days of trash in one medium Space Bag®. This caused one bag to break, and the crew repaired it by using 2-inch duct tape. They also noted the Space Bag® did not control odor well and was heavy when it contained 3 days of trash.
