Non-nominal systems: Pressurised tunnels & suit charger, Comms kit #4

Notes on non-nominal systems:

  • Pressurised tunnels: We repaired the pressurised tunnel using 10 zip ties due to the high winds.

  • Suit charger: We hadn’t noticed, but one of the chargers was broken (probably before we arrived) (See pictures below). We replaced it with a new one. Could we fix it with glue? Is that possible, or is it unsafe?

  • All the joints of the comms kit #4 headset were resoldered. The problem has been solved.
