Notes on non-nominal systems: Louis and Hippolyte are going to have a look at Suit 5 battery on Sol 5 (tomorrow). One of the ventilation valves of Suit 2 is stuck. Arnaud and Louis tried to work on it but were unsuccessful. They are going to look more into it on Sol 5 as they are both not planned for an EVA.
