Notes on rovers: [From Director] Sojo’s battery bank was cleaned and batteries refilled with distilled water. Only one cell was critically low (below the metal) but it was still wet. 1.5 gallons of distilled water used. No connections were loose and no battery caps were trapped under the security bar. The thermistor on the Rangers need to go to get serviced. All the batteries on Oppi were cleaned and the batteries will be filled tomorrow. Oppi needs the brakes serviced, as they have failed and run out of brake fluid twice this season.

Questions, concerns and requests to Mission Support: the new pump is working fine, but I just wanted a clarification: is it normal that the pump works in a pulsed mode (oscillating ON/OFF) when a low quantity of water is required?
