Questions, concerns and requests to Mission Support: The engineer requests guidance to check and fix the ventilation of Spacesuit 7. The crew has also experienced some issues with the LilyGoes. After arriving to the final location in the first EVA of the day, LilyGo 7’s location kept updating in the same position with no change. All devices were reset during the activity of the EVA. The four LilyGoes were checked once the crew arrived to the main Hab, as no change was noticed in the iMAC. LilyGo 7 was reset again with no success. This same LilyGo was taken in the second EVA by error, but it started showing it’s location as LilyGo 10, instead of 7. Guidance is also requested in order to solve this issue.
