SOL: 8

Name of person filing report: Paolo Guardabasso

Non-nominal systems: Rover Opportunity, Upper deck water pump, Kitchen sink.

Notes on non-nominal systems: rover Opportunity failed during EVA (on the way to the second EVA objective). For more details, look at the notes about the rovers and the EVA report for EVA #9.

The upper deck pump is now activating for rather long times (tens of seconds) with all the sinks shut. The kitchen sink is leaking.

Notes on rovers: Opportunity rover failed during EVA 9 because of overheating of battery (more details in EVA report); it was not possible to restart the engine until . Problem might be cause by lack of distilled water in radiator. Spirit rover battery has had anomalous consumption rates in the past days. A major rover check will be run tomorrow during an Engineering EVA.

ATV’s Used: (Honda, 300, 350.1, 350.2, 350.3)

# Hours the ATVs were Used today:

Notes on ATVs:

HabCar used and why, where? The HabCar was used to reach the location were Opportunity was left after it failed during EVA 9.

CrewCar used and why, where? Off Campus

General notes and comments: We captured another mouse last night, and it was set free today during EVA 9 at Cowboy’s Corner. EVA 9 presented several challenges (see EVA report).

Summary of internet: Nothing to report.

Summary of suits and radios: some suits batteries are at end of life, they lose charge very quickly (see spacesuit engineer report).

Summary of Hab operations: The ceiling in the commander’s room is compromised by water and might have a localized collapse if weight is applied to it, a bucket had to be placed close to the bed. A mouse was found in the lower deck. Leaking of the sink in the kitchen has been found, and this could be the cause of the leaking reported in a previous report.

Summary of GreenHab operations: Nothing to report.

Summary of ScienceDome operations: Nothing to report.

Summary of RAM operations: Nothing to report.

Summary of any observatory issues: Nothing to report.

Summary of health and safety issues: Nothing to report.

Questions, concerns and requests to Mission Support: what is the level of usage of the potable water filter? It is quite brown at the moment (see photo attached). Should it be replaced together with the pump tomorrow night?

CrewCar used and why, where? Off Campus

General notes and comments: During the night, a small mouse was captured with one of the two traps in the Hab. The morning, after a scheduled EVA was concluded, an Engineering EVA was organised to free the mouse close to Cowboy’s Corner. Crew Engineer Paolo and Crew Journalist Zoe travelled for about 20 minutes with Curi to the location and freed the mouse in a bush. On the way back there was a small problem with the radios, but it was solved as it was determined that a button was incidentally pushed while mounting the rover. Today was a resting day for most of the crew, and we had birthday cookies for our Spacesuit engineer Camilo.

Summary of internet: Nothing to report.

Summary of suits and radios: Nothing to report.

Summary of Hab operations: A mouse was found on the upper deck around 1:45AM; it was inside one of the rooms and then moved to another, passing under the doors. A trap was placed and the mouse walked into it. An Engineering EVA was performed in the morning to release it. Other points: it was not possible to fix the oven; the Space chess board is missing a pawn; the leak from the pump has now penetrated the roof in the commander’s room through the loft floor plywood.

Summary of GreenHab operations: some sage was collected for lunch. A lizard was found inside, but it escaped once it saw a crew member.

Summary of ScienceDome operations: cleaning was performed by the crew.

Summary of RAM operations: Drone cleaning, repairs and testing were performed.

Summary of any observatory issues: Nothing to report.

Summary of health and safety issues: Nothing to report.

Questions, concerns and requests to Mission Support: we need a static water tank refill. We have run out of kitchen paper.

SOL: 1

Name of person filing report: Paolo Guardabasso

Non-nominal systems: Lights in the EVA preparation room and crew room; pump in the loft (see previous emails).

Notes on non-nominal systems: The light bulb in the EVA preparation room died and we replaced it with the one on the shelf in the lower floor of HAB. The new one died a few hours later. Yesterday we had a dead light bulb in one of the rooms. This might be due to faulty light bulbs, but it might also be related to surges in the power distribution system.

# Hours the ATVs were Used today:

Notes on ATVs: [From Director] Long time mystery solved! I discovered the issue with why the Honda sometimes does not start: the kill switch is activated by pushing it either hard to the left or right and must be in the middle for the engine to turn over. Adding to this confusion, the thing will try to turn over when the kill switch is selected, while with all the Yamahas when the kill switch in on, they won’t even try to start.

Summary of Hab operations: Nothing to report

Summary of GreenHab operations: Watering twice the plants

Summary of ScienceDome operations: The small oven was used to sterilize the headsets covers.

Summary of RAM operations: The experiment rover was reassembled

Summary of health and safety issues: Nothing to report

Questions, concerns and requests to Mission Support: The water heater is plugged and the propane valve is open, the number in the display is 075, but we still have not hot water. How should we proceed?
