General notes and comments: Crew morale is high.
Summary of internet: Crew usage triage meeting tonight.
Summary of suits and radios: Conducted a ranging test between EVA and HAB, comparing Midland H/H and TERA TR-590 with 5/8th wave antenna. Superior performance from the TERA; will use for future EVAs as HAB NCS on Channel 22.
Summary of Hab operations: Repaired exposed wiring connection in HAB living area.
Summary of GreenHab operations: Routine watering.
Summary of Science Dome operations: Gypsum samples deposited for further processing. Agate and pretrified wood samples UV tested. Fluoresed yellow/red and magenta respetively under low band UV.
Summary of RAM operations: Require replacement light bulb, standard screw in base. Airlock ready room bulb broken, have cannibalized bulb from spare bedroom. 0 balance on hand. Fabricated expedient 4 x 4 junction box cover, exposed wiring connections, HAB living area. 0 balance o/h.
Summary of any Observatory issues: No solar obseration because of cloud cover.
Summary of health and safety issues: Placed CO alarm is spare stateroom. Some crew complaining of evening headaches. Likely just symptomatic of mild dehydration, test is simply to eliminate a possible cause.

Questions, concerns and requests to Mission Support: Light bulb resupply. Suggest two, one for spare stateroom and one for maintenance float. Need power cable (outlet to transformer) for astronomy laptop.
