Summary of internet: Nominal

Summary of suits and radios: Nominal. The new headset works properly.

Today, the fan on one of the suits slowed down considerably about two hours into the EVA, causing the crew member’s helmet to fog up. The EVA was immediately halted, and the crew attempted to return to the Hab before the fan stopped. Unfortunately, the fan completely failed just about 10 minutes after. It was later found that the suit was only plugged in partially, resulting in an incomplete charge.
