Summary of Hab operations: Nominal day
WATER USE: rate of 30 gallons / sol. Trend of 28 Gallons/sol since mission start. We are now on target to finish the mission 37 gallons short (or run out 1.2 days early). This means, if we continue with this trend, the tank will be at 118 gallons when the mission ends.
Water (static tank): 349 gallons remaining
Static tank pipe heater (on or off): off
Static tank heater (On or off): off
Toilet tank emptied: no

Summary of internet: Nominal
Summary of suits and radios: Suits and radios:
One helmet is currently unusable due to a few screws being detached, no longer fixing the transparent part of the helmet to the metallic collar. The screws cannot readily be attached again because the metallic collar is damaged where the screws were located, and repair will be required. Crew Engineer does not believe a quick fix is possible, if the goal is not to break again during an EVA. It has been separated from the rest and labeled.
The headset microphone for the CDR’s radio (#1) operated unreliably. There were occasions when the CDR would press to talk and we would only hear static but not his voice. The microphone mounted on the radio functioned properly, so it is a headset / connector issue. Crew Engineer to investigate further when time allows tomorrow.
Summary of GreenHab operations: Nominal. Doors closed early due to wind.
WATER USE: 6 gal at 06:30 + 5 gal at 18:45 + 3 gal for research = 14 gal total
Heater: Off
Supplemental light: Off
Harvest: None
Summary of ScienceDome operations: Nominal. Early growth biostimulation setup.
Dual split: Off
POWER report: Nominal operation, except for a breaker disconnected between a PV string and an MPPT. The same as 2 days ago. Mission Support was alerted and immediately handled this issue. The disconnection happened between 9:27 (time of a photo) and 15:28 (time of discovery).
Summary of RAM operations: Crew Robotics Engineer continued assembly and adjustments of the robot prior to and following a second EVA near the base for testing.
Summary of any observatory issues: Nothing to report
Summary of health and safety issues: Nothing to report
Questions, concerns and requests to Mission Support: The entire crew joins me in thanking Mission Support and the entire Mars Society organization for making such an amazing experience possible.

Non-nominal systems:
· Toilet
· Remote observatory
Notes on non-nominal systems:
Toilet started to smell a lot (making some crew mates uncomfortable when on the lower deck). Mission Support provided guidance:
1) Let’s fill the remaining toilet tank with water and empty it.
2) We need to make sure there are no leaks in the toilet/toilet tank:
Please inspect area in the toilet room for any leaks
In the EVA prep room please remove the toilet tank cover and inspect underneath with the flashlight to see if there any leaks
Crew Engineer applied this guidance. No evidence of leak was found. Over the course of the day, smell reduced. The smell level in the lower deck is slightly noticeable. In the toilet, the smell still exists, but it is not unbearable like it was before emptying.
Following up, Mission Support informed us that a septic tank cleaning was ordered and they should be at the bast tomorrow. Air freshener was offered if if smell continues.
We appreciate the help of Mission Support on this matter.

General notes on rovers: Nominal operation today
Summary of Hab operations: Nominal day (toilet issue described above)
WATER USE: rate of 30 gallons / sol. Trend of 28 Gallons/sol since mission start. We are now on target to finish the mission 2 gallons short. (So we are essentially on target). This means, if we continue with this trend, the tank will be at 118 gallons when the mission ends.
Water (static tank): 388 gallons remaining
Static tank pipe heater (on or off): off
Static tank heater (On or off): off
Toilet tank emptied: yes

Summary of internet: Nominal
Summary of suits and radios: Suits: nominal. Radios: nominal. For information, as mentioned by Mission Support during initial training, we noticed that Radio #2 was unable to transmit reliably to the repeater on channel 1 (at 1.5km distance south, at the ridge), so the EVA crew decided to use channel 2 locally, and the crew member with the other radio would use channel 1 to communicate to Hab. Habcomm crew decided to have one radio on channel 1 and one radio on channel 2 to increase situational awareness.
Summary of GreenHab operations: GreenHab door closed earlier due to the wind
WATER USE: 6 gal at 06:30 + 4 gal
Heater: Off
Supplemental light: Off
Harvest: None today
Summary of ScienceDome operations: Nominal day with mainly work by Crew Biologist. Biostimulation solution prepared. Added culture + media to Bioreactor – now operational. Set up microscope to show crew Spirulina tomorrow.
Dual split: Off
POWER report: Nominal operations today. Crew Engineer drew a diagram of the power system components to gain a better understanding. The chart assumes 3 connections due to some wiring being hidden and inaccessible, but all other connections are visible and have been recorded and charted on the diagram. Logs analyzed to a limited extent, producing this graph. Crew Engineer started modeling the battery SoC based on VDC. Next, will attempt modeling according to Watt-hours. Battery charging / discharging seems nominal – generator has not required since mission start.

Power System SoC comes from the power system and seems to be inaccurate, as the SoC remains low and decreasing while the battery has positive watts (is charging). This is why Crew Engineer is attempting to model SoC.
Summary of RAM operations: Crew Robotics Engineer continued assembly and adjustments of the robot following a first EVA near the base for initial testing. Crew Engineer cut a spare PVC pipe (using a hand saw) to serve as support for a failed step in the Hab staircase.
Summary of any observatory issues: Nothing to report
Summary of health and safety issues: Nominal day
Questions, concerns and requests to Mission Support: Grateful for the continued support received from Mission Support. Thanks extended from the entire crew.
