Summary of suits and radios: Suit #2 charging cable is very finicky and did not charge properly last night, regardless of being plugged in. I have found that the best way to ensure it is charging is to keep it in tension in an upwards direction, will keep an eye on it to ensure the suit is adequately charged for EVA07. Mission support identified an anomaly with the TPS link devices, it seems like even though only 3 crew members are on EVA, there is a fourth device shown to be travelling with the group, it seems like Astro_10 is the device that is unknown, as all other devices were assigned to the EVA crew.

WATER USE: 5 gallons
Heater (On or Off): On

Monish and Spruha’s work is still out on the tables in the Hab as there will be continued work for the following days.

Summary of health and safety issues: No issues.
Questions, concerns and requests to Mission Support: Is Curiosity cleared for EVA driving? We have not gotten confirmation post rover maintenance today.
