Summary of GreenHab operations:

Harvest: Cherry tomatoes (150g)
Questions:
– Should the supplemental light be turned on during our weeks at the MDRS considering the sun sets early?
– If the GreenHab is at 80°F at 7PM should the heater be turned on considering the temperature will likely drop even lower overnight?

Dual split: Off
SOC : 41% at 6.45pm
Summary of RAM operations: The batteries of the Combustible Gas Meter have been changed (3 AAA batteries).
Summary of any observatory issues: The computer in the observatory is not working (problem at startup). Peter Detterline has been contacted by the crew astronomer on his personal gmail address. The main computer mouse is also broken (there is no left key anymore).
Summary of health and safety issues: There is a problem in the insulation of the commander bedroom: the glass wool above the headboard is apparent. Photos can be provided.
Questions, concerns and requests to Mission Support: one non-burnable trash is waiting for pickup in the rear airlock. Thank you!
– I am not sure what is the dual split in the Science Dome. Is it the white fan to the right of the battery management device ? Where can I check its state ?
