Log Book for March 21, 2004
Engineering Report
Susmita Mohanty & Edwin Loosveldt Reporting

Includes Generator and Water Reports

Hab Generator:
  • refueled as per schedule (7 am, 3 pm) and 11 pm (due)
  • note that we had to pull start the "China Special" to start every time.
  • diesel reserve = 100 - (9x5)= 100 - 45 = 55 gallons
  • diesel used up since last re-supply = 9x5 = 55 gallons
Han Water:
  • In the morning, the indoor tank had 15 gallons; we pumped 35 more and made it 50 gallons. We were falling short of the water to the GreenHab, so today we decided to use more than our usual amount
  • we cleaned the Hab floor in the lab, we cleaned the spacesuit gloves and did some small laundry
  • so we had to refill the water tank again in the afternoon with another 30 gallons. This is good news for our GreenHab.
  • Water reserves (on the trailer outside) = 400 - (6 x 25) - 30 = 220 gallons
We look forward to receiving the oil shipment for the generators.
