Russian flight controllers say they've fixed two minor glitches on the first orbiting module of the new International Space Station. The just-launched Zarya had a jammed antenna, a failing battery, and too much humidity in the unmanned cabin. The antenna and battery have been fixed, and scientists expect the humidity problem will resolve itself once the module heats up. Zarya is scheduled to rendezvous with the American space shuttle Endeavour in early December.
