Date: 06 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 – 71%
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) – 8 (but no automatic way to refill it)
Static to Loft Pump used – No, it’s running just not pumping water
Water Meter: 104,230.9
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: Since today was an out of sim day we went and dropped some stuff off at the market place and picked up a lock for the hab. Looking at it again, the de-icer was already plugged in and definitely still working however nothing is being pumped up into the loft. The static tank pump is definitely working but not pushing any water into the loft tank, there must be a blockage somewhere. Also, there has been no hot water in the shower the first floor sinks, the water heater seems to be working but was not producing any hot water during the stay
Questions and Concerns to Mission Support:
Still missing the 4th, yellow-taped radio. Still waiting to hear back from FOX on whether or not they have it
REQUESTS:
Static tank pump needs to be looked at, batteries for ATV #2 and #4 are needed, hot water issue needs to be looked at
