General Notes on Rovers: The mirrors on all rovers were tightened and now should shake less when the rovers are moving. The mirror on perseverance is cracked. However this rover has problems with breaking so it will not be used in most future EVAs. It is also important to note that the mirrors on all rovers were very loose before tightening.
Summary of Hab Operations:
In the evening, the double hinge main airlock door was tied down and during the night it flew open a bit. EVA 5 crew had to properly close the door. The furnace had a similar issue of not working.

Summary of Greenhab Operations:
The Greenhab door has been harder and harder to close. It also looks like the door does not seal the door frame properly, causing the warmth to seep out of the Greenhab during the night. The magnetic sheets for the Kelway pH soil sensor were not found in the Greenhab, but Chopper does have a flashlight magnet that was used to calibrate the pH sensor.
