Summary of suits and radios:.
Spacesuit Nr.8:
Opened it, checked cable connections with multimeter. One cable was
broken between plug (V+ in) and switch. Removed the cable and soldered
a new one to replace it. Cable shoe was recycled. Battery was low,
5.1V, reinstalled all, currently charging, check tomorrow if charging
was successful.
Spacesuit Nr. 2:
Battery was low 5.6V, checked cables and connections to PCB with
multimeter, no obvious problems. Took the battery out and connected to
Battery charger as suggested by Scott. Check tomorrow again. Unit
currently in the RAM, Battery in HAB.
Spacesuit Nr. 4: Still low, fans slow rapidly down, not checked the
internals yet. Note: the LED of the charger is off. Tested the charger
in different power sockets, no change. Before I go for opening the
unit, shall I crosscheck with a different battery charger or open Nr.
4 first and check connections inside, suggestions?
Spacesuit Nr. 5: After charging overnight nominal again.
Spacesuit Nr 11: After charging overnight nominal again.
All other Spacesuits are nominal and connected to the chargers.
Radio issues: Switched the low radio battery to another radio as
suggested by Atila, the issue remains so the battery is broken –>
replacement by Outpost?

Questions, concerns, and requests to Mission Support:
Question: is there any cable for repairing the spacesuits available in

not be found. Is there something stored in the Outpost? If so, please
provided some, thanks.
Coffee filter re-supply delivered – very important, thank you.
