Summary of Engineering activities:

Unclogging the static tank:

The static tank was unclogged today according to the procedure

described in the CapCom Guide. I extracted the clogging from the

filter and it is now clean. I took a few pictures of the proceedings

if need be. I found the little grid of the filter slightly damaged (a

few holes in the grid).

Helmets:

The glass part of the three helmets were replaced so now the three

helmets are perfectly clear and clean.

Rover:

The NorCal Rover is fully operational and has been tested inside the

tunnel to and back from the observatory. We’d like to use it during

tomorrow’s EVA (cf. EVA Request #5)

Questions and Concerns to Mission Support:

Water: There is hot water for dishwashing but one crewmember took a

shower today and it was cold. Maybe that’s because hot water takes a

little bit of time to get to the shower and we only take short

showers.

Radios: Great news, we have received and tested the radios, they are

fully operational!

Best,

Louis Maller
