Operations Report – December 9th

Crew 305 Operations Report 09-12-2024
SOL:01
Name of person filing report: Spruha Vashi
Non-nominal systems: Lighting in Upper Deck Hab, Tunnel tarp hole at intersection
Notes on non-nominal systems: Lighting in Upper Deck Hab has been flickering since last night. Later after it got dark there was a couple seconds where sections of the light went completely out. We have been trying to troubleshoot with the light switch, but it hasn’t seemed to have gotten better. The tarp at the intersection between the observatory and science dome has a large hole at the top and was seen flapping around. This does seem like it is not something I can solve with simple zipties.
