Campus wide inspection, if action taken, what and why? Nothing to report

Summary of general operations: We cemented the two signs on Cow Dung Road into the ground so they would not blow over anymore. We attempted to replace the toilet in the Hab but had very little time to complete the work and the bolts that secure the toilet to the floor were stuck and we did not have time to unstick them before the crew asked if they could just use the broken one until the end of their rotation. We removed the old diesel overflow berm and releveled the area.
Summary of Outpost operations: Shed was cleaned and organized. Outflow on the water tank was replaced as it had been stripped. Intern Trailer was leveled. Greywater tank control appears to be failing on the intern trailer and may need to be replaced.

Summary of suits and radios:.

Spacesuit Nr.8:

Opened it, checked cable connections with multimeter. One cable was

a new one to replace it. Cable shoe was recycled. Battery was low,
5.1V, reinstalled all, currently charging, check tomorrow if charging
was successful.

Spacesuit Nr. 2:

Battery was low 5.6V, checked cables and connections to PCB with
multimeter, no obvious problems. Took the battery out and connected to
Battery charger as suggested by Scott. Check tomorrow again. Unit
currently in the RAM, Battery in HAB.

Spacesuit Nr. 4: Still low, fans slow rapidly down, not checked the
internals yet. Note: the LED of the charger is off. Tested the charger
in different power sockets, no change. Before I go for opening the
unit, shall I crosscheck with a different battery charger or open Nr.
4 first and check connections inside, suggestions?

Spacesuit Nr. 5: After charging overnight nominal again.

Spacesuit Nr 11: After charging overnight nominal again.

All other Spacesuits are nominal and connected to the chargers.

Radio issues: Switched the low radio battery to another radio as
suggested by Atila, the issue remains so the battery is broken –>
replacement by Outpost?

General notes and comments: Since today we are in SIM. A re-supply
mission from the outpost brought a new toilet. We’ve had an EVA to
Marble Ritual in the morning and afternoon, used Rovers, see EVA
report. Used rovers worked nominal, all plugged in. Rock samples have
been taken close to marble ritual, volvanic material (to be
estimated), Quartz, Flintstone and Achat (German).

Summary of Hab operations:

WATER USE:

Water (static tank): 480

Water (loft tank): 28 gallons, filled to 55 gallons

Water Meter: post pumping 01544074

Static to Loft Pump used – yes

Static tank pipe heater (on or off): installation by Outpost, unknown status

Static tank heater (On or off) unknown

Toilet tank emptied: no

Summary of internet: nominal

Summary of suits and radios: Several spacesuit issues occurred.

Spacesuits next to airlock: Spacesuit nr. 2 is non-functional although
plugged in, will be checked in detail tomorrow. Spacesuit nr. 4 is on
low airflow, plugged in, will be re-checked tomorrow, Spacesuit nr. 5
was on low airflow, plugged to a different power socket, now full air
blow capacity availlable.

Spacesuits in the lower deck: Generation 1 type Spacesuit is on low
air flow, plugged in, re-check tomorrow, System nr. is out of order,
battery voltage reads + 5.1 Volts, fuse is ok (0.1 Ohms). Removed fuse
to check with the following connections: battery ground to multimeter
common, fuse into multimeter voltage (DC) in. Test procedure: switch
on, power supply plugged in. Voltage read was very instable, changing
from 0.0V to 13.75V. Repeatedly checked with 3 different power
supplies, same result. I suspect the power in socket or the switch to
have a half-lose cable connection. Each movement on the power supply
cable led to a different or even no voltage read. Suggested procedure:
move System to the RAM tomorrow, dis-assemble the Switch/plug unit and
check soldered connections/ for broken cables.

Same may be necessary for Spacesuit Nr. 1 and 4. Tomorrow is a day in
HAB, so here is time for this. All other spacesuits are nominal, incl.
those used during EVA.

Radio issues: One Midland-type radio (the yellow ones) does not
re-load, when taken out of the supply, it turns of. Asserted, tagged
as non-functional. Maybe the batteries died, re-supply of rechargeable
batteries, test again? All other radio systems are nominal

Summary of GreenHab operations:

WATER USE: 210 gallons (guess)

Heater: On

Supplemental light: On

Harvest: none

Summary of ScienceDome operations: none

Dual split: status unknown, operated by outpost

Summary of RAM operations: Took screwdriver set back to RAM, checked
Lights and ventilators. All nominal, except fan in the airlock. Makes
some heavy noise/ sounds when turned on –> mechanical contact of fan
blades to frame? Should this be checked in detail?

Ram tools have been used to make a military style/survival kitchen
grater from a can – lid. Noticed the following instrument is not
working: dremel tool, motor can be switched on, but no rotation at the
end of the flexible arm.

Summary of any observatory issues: Still missing the astronomy box,
see Operations report Sol1, Image of Messier galaxy taken by crew
astronomer, details to astronomy operations are to be found in
astronomy report.

Summary of health and safety issues: none, see HSO report

Questions, concerns and requests to Mission Support:

All re-supply delivered, thank you.

Operations – December 28th

Crew 236 EVA Report 28-DEC-2021

EVA # 9

Author: Kasey Hilton

Purpose of EVA: Evaluation of soil and ground conditions for additional potential habitat locations

Start time: 10:30

End time: 14:00

Narrative: The crew entered the airlock at 10:35 and headed towards Candor Chasma shortly after. Once both rovers were parked on Galileo, the crew headed east toward the destination. After hiking down into Candor Chasma, 2 locations were measured to see if they were large enough for a habitat, but neither were, however the ground and soil conditions were acceptable. This leads Vladimir (GHO) to believe that further east into Candor Chasma, there could be locations large and solid enough for a potential habitat location. At 12:15, the crew turned around and headed back to the rovers. The crew arrived back at the Hab at 12:54. The EVA, although not producing the desired results, is still considered a success, since multiple sites were evaluated.

Destination: Candor Chasma/Region G

Coordinates (use UTM NAD27 CONUS): N4251000, W521000

Participants: Kasey (CMD), Vladimir (GHO), and Ben (JOU)

Road(s) and routes per MDRS Map: From the Hab, driving north on Cow Dung Rd to Galileo Rd and Galileo Rd to near area F; walking from area F east to Candor Chasma

Mode of travel: Driving and walking

General notes and comments:

Today the toilet leak worsened, requiring frequent dumping out of the
collected water. This has now been dealt with by keeping the water
valve closed, except for when flushing is required.

The exposed power outlets above the stove in the hab have been covered
with gorilla tape as a safety precaution.

The gaps surrounding the window above the couch in the hab have also
been blocked out with gorilla tape to minimize influx of (lethal)
martian atmosphere into our living area.

The temperature on the upper level of the hab has thankfully been
stabilized at around 70 F. The random bursts of cool air which we
received yesterday seem to have stopped (the trick was keeping the
thermostat at 70 instead of 75).
