Questions, concerns, and requests to Mission Support:
• Greenhab radio: the volume of the channel 1 radio was very low. I conducted a check on this radio with the user manual, and the volume is still low. We decided to change radios between channel 1 and 22 in the Greenhab. Indeed, important communication among the Crew are transmitted on channel 1, and transmissions with Mission Support are always managed in the Hab and summarized on channel 1.
• Concerning the toilet, I have listed this system as non-nominal since the beginning of the mission because it was reported as so before. However, we have not experienced and bad smell since the beginning of the mission. Do you still need to change the toilet tank?
• We did not experience any failure for the propane generator, is it still considered as non-nominal?
