Summary of suits and radios: Suits 1 and 6 had right-hand air tubes disconnect at the backpack during EVA. The helmet accompanying Suit 6 also had a broken zip-tie on the back panel of the helmet. Suits 3 and 4 are having intermittent fan problems despite having correct battery voltage. These will be checked and repaired this evening and tomorrow by D. Masaitis and V. Trivino.

One radio lost charge early on EVA, despite appearing to be at full charge prior to EVA. It was marked upon return, and will be thoroughly tested before being cleared for EVA use again.

Summary of Hab operations: The lightbulb in the rear (tunnel-side) airlock is out. Crew requires a replacement light bulb in order to repair. The handle hardware of the front airlock interior door was loose. Crew Engineer tightened 7/8 screws, but the top-left screw of the top attachment point would not thread at all. Replacement benchstock required to make a successful repair.

Summary of suits and radios: Two radios have been stuck in privacy and NOAA weather radio mode, respectively since we arrived. Following the radio’s manual did not fix them. Notes describing the issues have been clipped to the radios to assist future troubleshooting and identify them as not working. We still have plenty of radios working so it is not urgent.

Summary of Hab operations: Replaced the air filter in the heater in the lower-deck. Heater upstairs is nominal and currently used.

Summary of Green Hab operations: GreenHab smoke detector was beeping (it seems it was low in battery). Replacing its AA batteries fixed the problem.

Summary of internet: Around noon, D. Masaitis (CO) checked the internet data status and saw a remaining data allocation of 392 MB. 20 minutes later, the data allocation dropped to 0 MB. Upon inspection of the crew’s devices, no offending device was found. A survey of the devices connected to the internet revealed only the router and D. Masaitis’ laptop, which was being used to correspond with Mission Control. The cause of the anomaly is still unknown and we will continue to monitor the Hab network.

Questions, concerns and requests to Mission Support: Temperature in the upper deck of the Hab rose during the morning, at some points getting close to reaching 27 deg C, even though the heater in the lower deck was set by the engineer to slightly below the "ideal" middle setting of "3" (which usually gives the Hab a temperature of 21 – 23 deg C). The assistant director recommended turning the heater off and on again. After turning the heater off, the engineer and commander struggled to turn it back on again. As of writing this report, it is currently still off, however the temperature in the upper deck is a comfortable 23.8 deg C.

Summary of Science Dome operations: We were operating the autoclave by the handbook that was provided and as the pressure began to rise to the optimal pressure, it began to drop suddenly. We found that there was a leak out of the threads of the pressure valve that attaches the whole valve assembly to the lid, probably because it was not tightened properly. In order to remedy that, the XO got an adjustable wrench and made a tightening quarter turn on the valve, which caused the leak to stop and pressure, began to rise again. However, a minute later, the upper pressure release segment popped off. Upon inspection, we found that the valve sheared where pressure normally releases. It appears that the valve was already weakened as it sheared cleanly. No threads were damaged, so if a replacement valve assembly can be obtained, the issue should be repairable. The minimum sterilization pressure (17 psi) was obtained only momentarily and no higher pressures were experienced.
