Crew 305 Operations Report 10-12-2024
SOL:02
Name of person filing report: Spruha Vashi
Non-nominal systems: Power Systems
Notes on non-nominal systems: There was a delay on the switch from solar power to generator, but Mission Support was able to resolve the issue quickly. We did have another loss in power later in the evening but it was resolved quickly by Mission Support as well. Thank you for the assistance! We did find that after the power losses, the main lights on the upper deck of the Hab now do not have any dimming response, the switch only allows for full brightness or off. Upon recent investigation, the lights now go to full brightness only(no dimming) and also are flashing on and off, which is worse than the flickering. We have kept them off for now.
