Summary of RAM operations:
· Space Suit Repair: Suit #1’s inoperable battery life screen was fixed just by fixing some loose wires inside the suit’s pelican case, and Suit #5’s noisy fan was fixed with a good dose of canned air to the fan. As of now, all space suits are operational and repaired.
· Tunnel Repair: No major tunnel repairs to the tarp or zip ties were needed.
· Rear Airlock Door: The sliding bolt mechanism for the door has always been finicky and I wanted to upgrade it today. I added some eyelets to the bolt’s path and relocated the handle. It now slides only left to right instead of all over the place.
Summary of any observatory issues: None
Summary of health and safety issues: None
Questions, concerns and requests to Mission Support: Where is the personal gas monitor located? Tomorrow afternoon looks like a good time to work on the catalytic heater!
