Summary of Hab operations:
WATER USE: ~420 gallons used to-date (~45 gallons today)
Water (static tank): ~250 gallons (This is my best guess without a water gauge, but I am requesting Mission Support to let us know a more accurate value, if possible. Please note that the crew received a 120 gallon water resupply today since they needed to use additional water sources to empty the toilet tank again last night, which is more often than normal.)
Static tank pipe heater (on or off): On
Static tank heater (On or off): On
Toilet tank emptied: Yes, toilet tank was emptied last night after the Operations Report was sent.
Summary of internet: No issues with the internet. Connection is good.
Summary of suits and radios: Suit #3 was experiencing a low air flow. Because our GreenHab Officer already had Suit #3 fitted exactly to him, we decided to just switch the batteries from Suit #6 (the suit the Crew Engineer put a new battery in a few days ago) into Suit #3 and he was good to go for the EVA today. In the meantime, the Crew Engineer tested the original battery in Suit #3 and it was <12 V. She then put this battery into Suit #6 to charge it, and it seemed that the issue was with the power strip again. There is a button on the power strip that needs to be in the “reset” position and not the “off” position in order for the suits to charge. When it is in the “off” position, the chargers still shine green, giving the false illusion that the suits are charging. When the power strip is in the “reset” position, you can see that the chargers change to red when charging and green when fully charged. It must be in this position to ensure proper charging. Once the EVA ended, I switched the batteries back into their original suits. All suits are charging properly now and ready to use.

Summary of ScienceDome operations: Mirror sample inspections were performed by the Crew Engineer and Health and Safety Officer in the ScienceDome this evening after the EVA. We had to break for dinner and daily evening reports, so we will complete our inspections by 10 PM tonight since we have one more mirror sample to inspect.
Dual split: Per Mission Support’s message, the heat is on in the ScienceDome and set to 65 F.
