Summary of suits and radios: The suits were tested, and the results can be seen on the “suit test” sheet. In short: the suits 3,4,5 and 6 clearly don’t pass the test (just a reminder: the suits were tested at their maximum air flow with maximum charge at the beginning of the test). Thus, we don’t recommend using these suits in EVA, and their battery should be changed. Since the battery of suit N°6 was already changed during the previous crew’s rotation, maybe the problem isn’t in the battery but in the circuit of the suit…

The attachment of suit 2 was fixed.

Summary of RAM operations: (Tools used, work done) I did some work in the RAM to build a sign for tomorrow’s EVA, I used 2 nails.

Summary of any observatory issues: none

Summary of health and safety issues: none

Questions, concerns and requests to Mission Support: About yesterday’s smell issue: it is better after emptying the toilet tank, but some smell still persists. We can conclude that the sensor that indicates the level of the tank isn’t functioning well.
