Space Station, leaving four out of the original six still working. Mission
controllers first noticed that the Zarya module鈥檚 batteries weren鈥檛 discharging
properly after its launch in late 1998. As a result, the computer controllers
that regulate the batteries were replaced in May. But it seems that this didn鈥檛
solve the problem.
