Supplemental Operations Report – March 23rd

Supplemental Operations Report 23 Mar 2022

Name of person filing report: Shannon Rupert

Reason for Report: Routine

Non-nominal systems: Outpost water supply, power system

Action taken for non-nominal systems: Empty, clean and refill of water tank will take place tomorrow.

Generator: Still being manually run at night.

ScienceDome Dual Split: Off

Solar—Charge controllers off at night. Unexplainable drop in SOC today.

Solar— Nominal

Notes on power system: At 7:15 tonight the SOC was 0% and the data show a continuous and steady power drain all day. It makes no sense because it was a sunny day and we did not plug in the rovers after use. I will troubleshoot it tomorrow but in the meantime, we might lose power tomorrow because we can’t charge the batteries unless we turn off the generator. This was a shock to me because I don’t know what could have caused this.
