Supplemental Operations Report – February 22nd

Date: 2/22/2025
Name of person filing report: Sergii Iakymov
Reason for Report: Routine
Non-Nominal Systems: Crew car. Power system battery, invertors, generator. Robotic observatory. HAB outer shell.

Power system:
Solar: The battery bank does not hold charge when sun is down and low on the horizon. Inverter Slave 1 and 2 went offline and do not restart, which limits us to 5kW when on solar.
Main generator has been monitored for oil leaks; minor leaks observed, need to add oil every 2-3 days. Generator is limited to 8kW, see previous reports for details.
Main generator:
1) Oil, oil filter and air filter changed on 02/19/2025, 8507.7 hours.
2) Current hours – 8555.9.

Propane Readings:
Refilled 2/16/2025
Station Tank: 71%
Director Tank: 73%
Intern Tank: 82%
Generator Tank: 50%

Water:
Hab Static Tank – 411 gallons
GreenHab – 142 gallons
Outpost tank – 360 gallons

Rovers:
Sojourner rover used: No
Hours: 209.5
Beginning Charge: 100 %
Ending Charge: 100 %
Currently Charging: Yes
Notes on Rovers: See previous report.

Cars:
Hab Car used and why, where: To Hanksville for supplies.
Crew Car used and why, where: No.
General notes and comments: Crew car driver’s side front ball joint is bad. Low oil pressure is most likely caused by a bad sensor (it does not change due to RPM or temperature like it should).

Summary of Internet: Nominal
EVA suits and radios: Suits: Nominal.
Comms: Nominal.
T-Echo EVA-link: Astro8 is malfunctioning and need to be replaced."
Campus wide inspection, if action taken, what and why: Small but growing tear in the tunnel tarp, at the intersection of the science dome and observatory tunnels.
Summary of Hab Operations: Small cracks in the wall of the Hab in the loft area are allowing cold air intrusion. Hab main heater air filter replaced on 02/16/2025.
Summary of GreenHab Operations: Nominal
Summary of SciDome Operations: Nominal
Summary of Observatories Operations: Robotic observatory offline.
Summary of RAM Operations: Nominal
Summary of Outpost Operations: Nominal
Summary of Health and Safety Issues: Nominal
