Soldering Irons Notes on non-nominal systems: The generator still appears to not be charging the batteries at night (only powering the HAB). Shannon is having a look, this should not affect our operations (particularly with the days being so long now). I will repair charging plugs once we have a soldering iron. One piece suit #10’s fans stopped when I bent over while wearing the suit. The loose connection was determined to be at the positive terminal of the battery; upon inspection, there was a cold solder joint on a terminal connector. While removing tape to access battery terminals, I broke the small wires on negative terminal. Suit #10 is out of service until we have a working soldering iron (should be on the way).

General notes and comments: Eric made progress troubleshooting the beartooth devices by communicating with the manufacturer. The issue has not been resolved yet. Last night we waited too long to turn on the generator, SoC had dropped to 22%. This morning, it was only 26% after the generator running all night. It appears that the generator is not charging the batteries at all. SoC returned to 100% after a few hours of full sunlight. Mission Control (Shannon) is investigating further.
Summary of internet: We’re out, same as normal. Summary of suits and radios: One piece suits nominal, still work to do on two piece suits. I changed some settings on radios we use during EVA (whisper function) to make the microphone more sensitive. Recieved new radios, opened one set. They are ready to use on EVAs. Demoted some older EVA radios to science dome, retired one radio from science dome and one from the green hab (both radios have issues).
Summary of Hab operations: Started sorting tools in toolbox, and radios/chargers. Went out and checked water tank, confirmed we are half way through it.
Summary of GreenHab operations: Heavily watered (8+ gallons) in morning at request of mission control.
Summary of ScienceDome operations: Dishwasher experiment proceeding, more samples taken today.
Summary of RAM operations: New radios retrieved from RAM airlock.
Summary of health and safety issues: During a local EVA to practice medical emergencies, we had one crewmember suffer from heat exhaustion. EVA was cut short, crewmember is feeling better.
Questions, concerns and requests to Mission Support: We would like some small cardboard boxes for organizing the HAB. They would also be good for moving material and supplies during EVAs (such as to/from RAM). We would like some hang-tags or white cloth (gaffing?) tape to mark things as we organize the HAB. Also, we would like some small paintbrushes (for detail work on sign), wet-wipes, and paper towels.

General notes and comments: I took pans out of broiler underneath oven; It is an older style gas stove, with a broiler (not a drawer) underneath the oven. Too many pans there could block airflow for oven burner.

General notes and comments: We would like the sim suit supply box dropped off in our airlock, so we can work on the two-piece suits.
Summary of internet: Appears to be working.
Summary of suits and radios: Radio 06 appears to transmit a beep continuously, draining the battery. Suits have some issues; see email titled “Details about EVA Suits”.
Summary of Hab operations: supported two EVAs and investigated suit status. Sol Summary report for more details.
Summary of GreenHab operations: plants are doing well, see GreenHab report for more details.
Summary of ScienceDome operations: Progress was made on dishwasher experiment, see Science Report for more details.
Summary of RAM operations: Placed tools in RAM for future use, took boards apart and painted some to use for an MDRS sign.
Summary of health and safety issues: Need to work on better balance between working in RAM and not breaking sim; see email “A few notes – about EVA duration” for details.
Questions, concerns and requests to Mission Support: A few requests, listed in Sol Summary.

General notes and comments:
Summary of internet: By 8AM again today, we have used half of our allotted daily internet. Is there a way to monitor our internet over time without constantly logging on to check it? That way we could monitor usage and know if there is a peak time that it is being used.
Summary of suits and radios: Older style (silver front) radios appear to not transmit well enough to use in EVA. One two piece suit broke during EVA today, and 1 one piece suit was deemed unuseable due to scratches in the visor.

Summary of ScienceDome operations: See Science report.

General notes and comments: This morning we had an issue with the readings on the solar SoC before we turned off the generator. Systems seem to be nominal now.
Summary of internet: Nominal. This morning the internet was very slow, while we still had 49% of our
Summary of suits and radios: All one piece suits are working (and were used today). Radios are nominal.
Summary of Hab operations: See Sol Summary report.
Summary of GreenHab operations: See GreenHab report
Summary of ScienceDome operations: 001 constructed dishwasher experiment. While checking SoC, I noticed one of the nuts had fallen from lock. It has been replaced, but is not fully tightened as that would interfere with Lock operations. We will keep an eye on it, suggest a longer bolt with two nuts jammed together in future upgrades.
Summary of RAM operations: Sign marking area of our settlement was in RAM. Old sign was repaired and moved outside. New sign material is in RAM awaiting construction. Door was left open, engineering EVA was performed to close it.
Summary of health and safety issues: None to report.
Questions, concerns and requests to Mission Support: Nothing yet.
