Non-nominal systems: Pressurized tunnels

Notes on non-nominal systems: The pressurized tunnel connecting the RAMM and the living module was damaged. Matias and I, Antoine, went to repair it in spacesuits. We used a new patch and a lot of self-locking fasteners (a whole bagful, and even a little more). The team began the emergency EVA at 12:13 p.m. and completed the operation at 1:06 p.m (See pictures below).
