Summary of ScienceDome operations: The Crew Geologist investigated many rock & mineral samples from our previous EVAs, and several other crew members joined to watch and learn from her. The ring light magnifier in the SciDome was used.

Summary of RAM operations: Retrieved WD-40 to use on a stateroom’s squeaky door hinge, then put the WD-40 back in the RAM. Yesterday evening, I recognized a low-battery chirp from a CO alarm in the RAM (1 chirp, once per minute). Today I went to replace the 9V in it, but it was not chirping anymore. I will continue to check every sol to see if the chirping returns.
Summary of any observatory issues: N/A
Summary of health and safety issues: N/A
Questions, concerns, and requests to Mission Support:
- Request for trash to be taken from the rear airlock in the morning
- Request for information on the usability of the sink in the ScienceDome
Best,
