Non-nominal systems :
Tunnel inspection and some damage due to wind.
Suit #3 has been repaired.
Notes on non-nominal systems :
A tunnel inspection was conducted in the early afternoon, and all coverings were found to be in good condition. A second check was carried out at 6:30 PM, during which one tarp near the RAM was found to be damaged. It was reattached, but should be monitored closely in the coming days due to ongoing wind conditions. Approximately 15 zip ties were used to secure other sections of the tunnel, and no additional damage was observed.
Suit #3 : The missing part was hidden at the top of the shelf. The part has been attached to the suit. The suit is operational.

Summary of Hab operations: Over the past 24 hours, we participated in our final medical emergency simulation. The scenario began at midnight, when we were woken by an alarm in the Hab and directed to the GreenHab, where the simulation took place. After completing the exercise, we returned to the Hab for a debriefing session and were back in bed by 1:00 AM.
Later in the day, we spent time cooking, socializing, advancing our experiments, and working on individual reports. We also engaged in physical exercise to maintain our fitness. To conclude the day, we held our regular team meeting to review our progress and plan the tasks ahead.
