Hab Maint:

The septic system is now a critical issue with black water now present and visible on the ground outside the habitat, with a foul odor present in the hab's lower deck. The amount of runoff has significantly increased within the last 24 hours.

EVA Plan

Tomorrow Plan:

First planned EVA for our mission, begin outreach activities, begin operational handbooks and checklists for MDRS (already discussed with MDRS Director).

Inventory:

We found a bin of leftover food from Crew 135 in the loft area above the crew bunks, as well as several sleeping bags and camp pads. The food was stored properly and the items that were left behind by previous crews were stowed on the trash trailer. After reviewing the food inventory of the habitat, we have determined that there is a lot of the same types of food items that we have an extreme excess of in the habitat; therefore it might not be necessary to include these particular items in future crews' bins.

Support Req:

Water refill

Septic system pumped

Miscelleneous:

Crew 139 will need to be replenished with vegetables for cooking, as there are very few left at the Hab now, and we were not replenished with a new supply in our bins.
