General Engineering Notes/Comments:
1) The hab car did two trips to Hanksville and will go
on antother trip to Hanksville tomorrow, odometer reading will be
reported tomorrow.
2) Crew 119 handed the station off to crew 120, they did a good job on
getting us up to speed on the station’s operations and reporting
procedures.
3) We did a short 10min rover test drive to get familiar with its
operation.
4) I noticed a faint smell of propane by the propane tank, this could
be the indicator of a leak, please advise if corrective action is
needed.
5) All systems are nominal.
The station and gear are in good shape and ready to go IN-SIM
tomorrow, crew 120 is excited and eager to begin work. Its smooth
sailings on the surface of Mars tonight.
