Operations Report Thursday 12/21/2017
SOL: 3
Name of person filing report: A.Passeron
Non-nominal systems:
-Spacesuit N°3 :
The ventilation system stopped once again during the engineering EVA. I opened the backpack at 3:00pm and tried to find a faulty connection with the ohmmeter. All the wires are well connected. The faulty connection may thus be in the outlet itself. Still, the backpack can be charged by slightly moving the plug. The ventilation system is operational. Tomorrow, I will check the running time of the fully-charged spacesuit to test whether or not the battery is defective.
