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.

Summary of any observatory issues: Summary of any observatory issues: During captures with the deep space telescope one of two errors show up at some point during the night "Mount error” or “Camera error”. Hypothesis: the error is caused by the power switch between the battery and the generator. Questions to evaluate the hypothesis: Does the observatory have an active UPS? Could we do a controlled experiment with a very short capture and switch the power supply at a known time to see if the error shows up?
