Log Book for November 20, 2002
General Engineering Report
Stacy Cusack Reporting

The circuit breaker for the air heaters in the greenhouse had to be reset at 10:05 pm last night and again at 11:00 am today. We routed the yellow extension cord from the Hab into the greenhouse to power the air heaters on a different circuit. We hope that this will alleviate the circuit breaker issues we've been having.

At 10:05 pm last night, the water temperature in Tank # 3 of the Living Machine was 68 deg F. The outside air temperature was 30 deg F. The inside air temperature in the H. T. Odum greenhouse was 42 deg F on the indoor/outdoor thermometer. The humidity in the greenhouse was 68%.

At 11:00 am, the water temperature in Tank # 3 of the Living Machine was 66 deg F. The air temperature was off scale on the dial thermometer and 105 deg F on the indoor/outdoor thermometer. The outside air temperature was 52 deg F. The humidity in the greenhouse was 20%.

At 6:10 pm, the water temperature in Tank # 3 of the Living Machine was 74 deg F. The air temperature was 62 deg F on the dial thermometer and 56 deg F on the indoor/outdoor thermometer. The outside air temperature was 44 deg F. The humidity in the greenhouse was 48%.

The oil level in the Generac is fine. The propane level is 20.

Another successful test (# 27) of the Cliff Reconnaissance Vehicle (CRV) was performed today. We had excellent video reception during the entire test.
