Notes on non-nominal systems: The issues with Suit 2 and 9 were already noted before our mission. Suit 11’s battery was replaced yesterday, but on today’s EVA Suit 11 was believed to exhibit reduced circulation (albeit better than before the battery was replaced). After inspection the cause remains unknown. 3 missing zip ties for the tarps in the tunnels were replaced.
