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.

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.

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?
