ENGINEERING REPORT SOL #11

below the needle)

Water (trailer) measured in inches from the top– topped off
Water (static) measured in inches from the bottom – 23 inches

Atv # 1,3,5 Oil Checked: Good
Atv # 1,3,5 Fuel Used Gals: Unknown
Atv # 1,3,5 Tires Status: Good
Atv Hours Used Day: 0
Atv Notes And Comments: ATV #1 is out of commission as of right now, so all
that we have operational is ATV #3 and 5 at this moment. Battery to ATV #4
is very likely dead, charging it did not make a noticeable difference. #5
has survived another night, so I’m pretty confident that it’s going to be
okay for now
Summary of Engineering activities: Went through basic engineering report
procedures, everything is good
Notes: The bolt cutters are still here to either be picked up or returned
to Hollow Mountain. With that, the observatory is still unlocked
Questions and Concerns to Mission Support
It appears that FOX News (most likely 31, from Denver) left on
Thursday and took one of the radios with them. We have emailed the people
at FOX and are waiting on a response on the matter.
REQUESTS
Only concern here would be to get a new lock for the observatory,
and maybe another battery or two for the other ATVs #2 and #4.
