ATV’s Used: yes (Honda, 1, 2 and 3)
Reason for use: 1 & 2 used during the EVA. We had trouble starting the
Honda, and finally thought the battery was flat. But during the engineer
EVA, Honda started without any problem (using the starter). So maybe it
was due to the cold weather… Crew members going in EVA tomorrow
morning will try to start it. If non working, we will probably take the
battery in the RAM to charge it. All ATVs were run during the engineer
EVA for battery check.
Oil Added? no

Hours the ATVs were Used today: 20 minutes

Summary of suits and radios: Suits 4, 8, 9, 10 were used during the EVA.
Suit 7 is now fixed and perflectly working !

Summary of Hab operations: Nothing to report

Summary of GreenHab operations: The GreenHab officier switched the
working and non working neons of the halogen lamp in order to have more
light on tomatoes than on aromatics.

Summary of ScienceDome operations: Nothing to report

Summary of RAM operations: We successfully fixed suit 7 ! What we found
is a problem on the suit female plug : in a certain position, one of the
cables was in contact with one of the 2 free pins. And thus connecting
the electrical circuit to the ground. Our solution was to isolate those
2 pins with an heat-shrinkable sleeve. Cf the 2 pictures attached. We
did the same thing on suits 8, 9, 10 to prevent them from this.

Summary of health and safety issues: Nothing to report
