Summary of suits and radios:

The Crew Engineer replaced the battery in EVA Suit #6 today. She wore this suit out on the long afternoon EVA today, and the suit’s air flow system worked well. Please let us know what to do with the old battery.

Additionally, the Crew Engineer’s headset (headset #4) seemed to be working normally today and had no issues. However, the GreenHab Officer’s headset (headset #3) seemed to be experiencing issues today. The GreenHab Officer could hear his crewmates speaking, but his crewmates could not hear him. We switched his headset and he used headset #5 for his EVA today instead. We will monitor and report back on its status.

Questions, concerns and requests to Mission Support: The Crew Engineer replaced the heat furnace air filter today.

Finally, the toilet seems to now be functioning well. No problems today.
