Name of person filing report: Sergii Iakymov
Reason for Report: Routine.
Non-Nominal Systems: Robotic observatory, Hab car, Opportunity
Action taken for non-nominal systems: Observatory is awaiting for new parts to be procured. Hab Car – electrical issues, will be taken to Loa for diagnostic. Opportunity, see below.
Power system:
Solar–SOC Last 24 hours: Max 100% Min 34 % Avg 55.6%. Solar experienced overload on April 6th by excess input power from the Sun. This was noticed by the Crew engineer during work on her project in the ScienceDom. She heard a loud noise and saw a bright flash from one of the battery chargers. The charger went in P05 – Power Limited (Above Voltage Regulation) mode. After consultations with Dr. Rupert, the system was restarted, but it did not change anything. Later during the day Inverters went offline four times in a row without obvious reason and no fault signals. A decision was made to turn on the generator around 7pm to let inverters rest without load. Inverters were restarted next morning and are functioning properly by this moment.
Power System Notes: Generator run time about 11:30pm – 7am. Was not used on April 1st, and from 7pm – 7am on April 6. Hours – 3639.7.
