Crew 184 Operations Report 10/12/2017
SOL: 9
Name of person filing report: HuntJ
Non-nominal systems: Generator non-functional, repaired and returned to operations in afternoon. (Operational Again!!!)
Notes on non-nominal systems: Mission Support found a solution with the generator today. It turns out that the ground and positive connectors to the battery were loose. Tightening them and a voltimeter check proved the battery was just fine. One more attempt at using jumper cables and the generator is back and running! Forward plan now is to leave it on until tomorrow morning (with fingers crossed that it stays on through the night). A decision will be made tomorrow morning on whether to turn the generator back off or leave it running.
Generator (hours run): Back on around 2:00pm. Running 3 hours and still going!
