Log Book for March 29, 2007
Commander's Check-In
Emily Colvin Reporting

Crew Physical Status: One crewmember was feeling very icky (tired, headache), but napped and drank a lot of Gatorade and is doing better.

Brief Narrative of Field Mission Results: Today was our outreach to Georgia, inventory, and working on current project. Then Paul came with some more equipment and the answers to some questions (to power down the 24V system, you must pull the DC disconnect and fully power down the inverter - not just turn off the inverter mode). And somewhere in the mix was our last day (yay!) of our human factors tests.

Time Departed for/Returned from EVA: No EVA

EVA Narrative/Data/Interpretations: No EVA

Plans for Tomorrow: Continue work on everything - finishing up the engineering inventory, finishing the installation of the DC-to-DC conversion system (which we now know how to do all of), pulling cable to the GreenHab for the water meter pulse sensors and temperature sensors that tie into the Power Meter, and hopefully restoring functionality to more of the water system.

Report Transmission Schedule: As soon as we can get them in, now that the time vortex has been discovered and we realized that it's time.

Maintenance: Continued inventory, continued work on the DC-to-DC, tried to get into the DC fusebox. Connected a pulse sensor to the upstairs water meter (and have seen data!).

Food/Essential Supplies Inventory: Dean is somewhere in the process of a full food inventory (we have a LOT of canned peaches). I'll make sure the inventory and a list of stuff 61 needs to bring gets out tonight.

Miscellaneous: I can't believe it's already over!

Support Requested: None
