ENGINEERING REPORT SOL #13

Date: 05 Feb 2016

Crew Engineer Name: Anderson Wilder

Diesel – 48% (It’s hard to keep an accurate number because I stand so far

below the needle)

Propane – 73%

Gasoline (5 Gallon containers for ATV) – 10 Gallons

Water (trailer) measured in inches from the top– 25 inches

Water (static) measured in inches from the bottom – 37 inches

Trailer to Static Pump used – No

Water (loft) – 12, topped off

Static to Loft Pump used – Yes, topped it off

Water Meter:

Atv # 1,3,5 Oil Checked: #1 and #5 look a bit low

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.

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. Plugged

up de-icer doo-hickey on static tank, however when I turn on the static to

loft pump it runs but does not pump water. We should be good for tonight

and tomorrow if it doesn’t end up working by then.

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.
