General Engineering Notes/Comments: We started the day with 85%
allowance; I am trying to figure out what consumed 15% of our data
allowance between 3 and 7am.
1) We have been resupplied with water, now we have a full trailer tank.
2) I had to re-solder the fuse connection on Pack 4, its back to
nominal operation.
3) Pack 2 ceased to function after our second EVA and it will not
charge, I will look into what the malfunction is and repair it.
4) A part of the right shoulder strap broke; it was repaired by tying
the strap to the remaining portion of the buckle.
5) DG worked on setting up heating vents in the toilet and shower rooms.
It was nice getting a full water tank; we will try to keep being
conservative with the water. Thank you also for ordering more propane,
it would get too cold in here without it. Good samples were collected
during both of our EVAs and we have being to do RST work so we are now
doing science on Mars!
