General notes on rovers: Spirit and Perseverance were used on the EVA. After returning to the Hab, per mission support request, all 4 rover positions were slightly adjusted back to their correct parking spots. A crewmate noticed that the rear-left taillight on Perseverance was non-nominal.
Summary of Hab operations: Around 8:00 pm, despite already being roped shut, the outer front airlock door flew open. The crew was prepared and scrambled to get ready with EVA Suits, boots, and other essential items. The problem was very promptly addressed, and all crew members are safe.

All suits have been cleaned and are currently charging. There were no issues with radios or headsets on the EVA. All radios that were used have been charged and removed from the charging dock.
Summary of GreenHab operations: Monitored and watered GreenHab crops and experimental crops. Placed new shovels and broom in the GreenHab.
WATER USE: 7 gallons

Supplemental light: 4 hours
Harvest: 10g beans, 80g carrots
Summary of Science Dome operations: No crew activity, there was Mission Support activity.
Dual split: On (from approximately 8:00 pm to 8:00 am)
Summary of RAM operations: The items that were dropped off on Mars were retrieved from the RAM and put into their proper location (GreenHab, Kitchen, EVA Suit Cabinet). The items that were not retrieved and are still in the RAM are the goggles for the Sci Dome and the Observatory Items. After the supply trip was made, the Hab had an emergency situation of a blown open airlock door. This was promptly taken care of and all crew members are safe, but the storm prohibited a crew member from going to back to retrieve the remaining items. They will be taken care of when the weather permits.
Summary of any observatory issues: N/A
Summary of health and safety issues: N/A
Questions, concerns, and requests to Mission Support:
- Where is the proper location for Observatory items?
