Non-nominal systems: Some old-generation EVA Radio Headsets
Notes on non-nominal systems: After the EVA started today, 2 crew members were experiencing comms issues. Before departing on the rovers, those 2 crew members returned to the Hab to troubleshoot the issues. It was determined the radios had no issues, and all that was required was a different headset. Later in the night, all old-generation headsets will be tested to determine functionality (please see ‘Summary of RAM operations’ for additional information).

I do not currently have an update on suit 7 due to circumstances of yesterday evening, but the Commander and I will investigate suit 7 airflow issues tonight. All radios are nominal, but not all older-generation headsets are nominal. We received new headsets from an interplanetary cargo ship, tested all of them, and all are nominal.

Summary of RAM operations: Retrieved the new EVA Radio Headsets from the RAM and brought them to the lower deck. All have been tested, verified to be nominal, and labeled. Later tonight, I will organize and label the old-generation headsets into nominal or faulty categories & place them back in the RAM.
