General Engineering Notes/Comments:
-We did test the small generator to make sure it works in case of Emergency, and it did work. There is still plenty of gas inside. Nothing was plugged in. WE just let it run for a couple of minutes.
-I did test the inside tube on the helmet during EVA to make sure it does clear the fog. Indeed it did work; however, the air flow is a little bit slow. But I do think that the tube I did install inside was too big and not really adapted for the project; but it does work ok. My next change would be a smaller tube instead of the big one.
-John did test the new ATV for EVA and it runs like a charm.
-However, the old red ATV has left low tire. I would like to know if we do have an air pressure so I can inflate the tire. If it goes down again, I will let you know and we can figure out how you want me to fix it.
