Operations Report – February 6th

Crew 310 Operations Report 06-02-2025

SOL: 4

Name of person filing report: Helena Arias

Non-nominal systems:

Robotic Observatory

Hab secondary structure

Toilet tank level indicator

Notes on non-nominal systems: Maintenance of the observatory planned for June. There are air leaks in the upper deck of the Hab. The scratches were covered with duct tape and bubble wrap The solution improves the situation. The toilet tank was full (although the indicator shows 2/3). The alarm started ringing at 4.30 am. The tank was emptied following the protocol, but the indicator did not update accordingly, and the alarm would not switch off, so we disconnected the battery. Visual inspection will be performed from now on and until the indicator is fixed. We propose rebooting the indicator either by disconnecting and reconnecting the power source or pressing the pump switch.
