Summary of any observatory issues: No issues.
Summary of health and safety issues: No issues.
Questions, concerns and requests to Mission Support: Spruha’s research, the small rover, needs to be tested on the days when it is not scheduled for EVA testing. Is it possible to test the rover in the terrain in the tunnels outside, with 1-2 crew members in observation? I understand that the tunnels are meant for travel only, but it would provide extra testing opportunities for the rover, especially since parts of the tunnels have more rocky terrain. This would also help with observations, as Rashi is looking to oversee the rover functionalities for her research, but there is a chance she would not be available to observe during a scheduled EVA.
Answer from Mission Support: Yes, preliminary testing of the rover in the tunnel system is permitted. Please only do as much as you need, as this is somewhat outside of the design domain of the tunnel system.

Please advise on the cable for Suit #3, I would be happy to fix the issue if I had the correct supplies.

Mission support response: water level should not be an issue, and Suit #3’s cable routing bracket is likely on the ground outside the HAB.

Part 3

Note any safety issues:

1. A crewmember will be using needles and syringes as part of their research. However, they do not have a proper sharps disposal container. This is a potential safety hazard. For the time being, the individual has been trained on proper capping/uncapping procedures for needles, and will keep needles capped in a separate location until a more permanent solution can be found.
2. After testing the downstairs carbon monoxide detector, it began beeping periodically indicating a low battery. No replacement batteries were located in the HAB, so extra 9V batteries have been requested from mission support.

Note any health/environmental issues: None noted.

Note any missing or recommended health and safety supplies:

1. Sharps disposal container for used needles
2. 9V batteries for smoke and carbon monoxide detectors
3. Antibiotic ointment (individually wrapped) are needed for the lower HAB first aid kit
4. An AED would be standard safety supply which is not present
5. A dedicated tourniquet for the HAB would be a welcome addition, in case the EVA safety kit is out on EVA

Part 4. Using the attached Safety Equipment Inventory, locate, test and confirm operation of all safety equipment. List any equipment not found and/or missing. See notes on the next page.

All safety equipment from the below Safety Equipment Inventory matrix has been checked for functionality. Please note that the matrix does not indicate a nightlight in the RAM, but the accompanying Safety Equipment Notes and Locations list indicates a night light exists in the RAM. Upon inspection, no night light was found in the RAM.
