Log Book for March 17, 2004
Engineering Report
Susmita Mohanty & Edwin Loosveldt Reporting

Including Generator + Water Reports
GreenHab Report + EVA Report submitted separately


Hab Generator:
  • refueled as per schedule (7 am, 3 pm) and 11 pm (due)
  • Oil change on 'China Special'.
  • We will NOT perform any more re-fuelings in space suits. Sorry about yesterday, we did not know that is out of bounds.
  • Diesel reserve = 100 - 9 = 91 gallons
  • Diesel used up since last re-supply = 9 gallons
Hab Water:
  • In the morning, the indoor tank had 25 gallons; we pumped 25 more and made it 50 gallons.
  • Water reserves (on the trailer outside) = 400 - 50 = 350 gallons
  • The crew seems to be using approximately 25 gallons (minus toilet flushes) per day.
    Our GreenHab in-charge has asked us to use a bit more (up to 35 gallons) because we are falling short of water for the toilet flushing.
