Crew: 286

Date: November 12 2023

Part 1: Using the attached Safety Equipment Inventory, locate, test and confirm operation of all safety equipment. List any equipment not found and/or missing:

Part 2: Locate and confirm the emergency escape routes in the Hab are functional and clear:

1. Stairs: functional and clear

2. Emergency window: functional and clear

3. Commander’s window: functional and clear

Part Three:

Inventory First Aid kit and note what needs to be refilled: nothing needs to be refilled

Note any safety issues:

HAB Upper deck:

The escape ladder should be moved to a storage place where it is easier to pull out and use. The emergency window should have a ladder or a step underneath it to make it easier to access and get out of with the ladder.

ScienceDome:

The path to the eyewash station is obstructed by the Burn and No Burn bins. They should be moved out of the path to the eyewash station.

Note any health/environmental issues:

Note any missing or recommended health and safety supplies:

Once back at the station the battery voltage was measured at 8.5 V with the fan off and 3.0 V with the fan on, while another suit (9) with the same amount of use was measured at 12.6 V off and 12.4 V on. After an hour charging it got to 12 V off but dropped to 8 V on, and the working suit was already at 13.3 V.

Summary of Hab operations: The higher water consumption today is due to the entire crew taking a shower. Everyone was limited to 1 min of water use, this resulted in around 10 to 12 gallons in total for the 6 members.
WATER USE: 35 gallons
Water (static tank): 289 gallons
Static tank pipe heater (on or off): on
Static tank heater (On or off): on
Toilet tank emptied: no
Summary of internet: No comments
Summary of suits and radios: After leaving the battery of suit N 10 to charge all night the voltage measured 12.6 V with the fan off and again dropped to 8.6 V with the fan on. The battery was changed for a new one as discussed yesterday. The new battery was measured before the first charge at 12.7 V with only a 0.2 V drop with the fan on. After 30 min charging it got to 13.5 V, measuring it after 1 h resulted in the same value, so the suit was disconnected and turned on. As soon as it was turned on, the voltage went down from 13.2 V to 12.6 V over the course of 1 min. 4 measurements were taken at 15 min intervals; it remained at 12.3 V. The last measurement was taken 2 hs after turn on, reading 12.2 V. We conclude from this test that the new battery works as expected. The suit is now off and charging along with the others.
