Questions, concerns and requests to Mission Support :
Request to Mission Support :
EXPERIMENT : The team has applied for support to collect a parcel containing important samples for our journalist’s experiment.
HSO :
As mentioned in the email’s response (HSO pre-mission checklist) : We have two issues with the walkie-talkies from SciDome: the one working on channel 10 is dead and doesn’t work on any other charging base. Unfortunately, the charging base for the SciDome is also no longer working.
As mentioned in the email’s response (HSO pre-mission checklist) : there’s no new alcaline battery left in the drawer (precicely : Alcaline Battery 9V 522-6LF22 -6AM6). We have received a response from Mission Support that batteries will be coming in the beginning of next week.
