Operations Report – May 5th

Crew 212 Operations Report 05-MAY-2019

SOL: 0

Name of person filing report: Paolo Guardabasso

Non-nominal systems: Loft pump

Notes on non-nominal systems: The loft pump in the Hab is leaking
badly, and water penetrated the wooden floor down in the commander’s
room. The leaking is due to parts of the pump not being completely
fixed to each other and is triggered mainly by vibrations during
activity; water both drops on the wooden floor but also sprays upwards
close to electrical connections.
