Log Book for February 27, 2006
Engineering Report
Steven Winikoff Reporting
Generator/Electricity:
Casper: not used
Wendy Hobbs Meter: 2853.7 hrs
Voltage: 120 VAC
Frequency: 60 Hz
Oil Level: full
Oil Pressure: 32 PSI
Water Drained: no
Notes/Comments: Another perfect start. I have no idea what was wrong last week, but it seems to have fixed itself.
Xantrex Inverter/Dynasty Batteries:
Time - Voltage (Temp Comp) - Load - Temp - Generator Running?
22:00 - 27.5 - 11 - 21 - on
22:08 - 24.7 - 13 - 21 - off
08:33 - 22.9 - 04 - 15 - off
08:49 - 25.6 - 09 - 15 - on
13:47 - 27.5 - 12 - 21 - on
13:53 - 25.1 - 09 - 21 - off
Fuel Status (as of 18:45):
Diesel: Approximate Reading: 1/4
Propane Tank: Approximate Reading: 80% (800 gallons = 3028.3 L)
Gasoline:
Consumed Today: 1 gallon = 3.8 L
Quantity Remaining: 35 gallons = 132.5 L
Oil:
GenSet Quantity: 0 quarts
ATV Quantity: 13.5 quarts
Blue Quantity: 14.5 quarts
Water Status:
Outside Potable Water Tank Level: 410 gallons = 1552.0 L
Trailer Potable Water Tank Level: 15 cm from the base
Water Meter Reading: 7128.0 gallons = 26982.3 L
Water Consumed: 75.6 gallons = 286.2 L
Grey Water Used: 26.6 gallons = 100.7 L
Flushes: 12
Showers: 2
Sponge Baths: 0
Notes/Comments: The grey water meter reading at 17:20 today was 1054.2 gallons. The other GreenHab water meter reading at that time was 1358.2 gallons (change since yesterday = +129.7 gallons). The number of flushes continues to outpace the number of showers, but between washing dishes and watering plants we seem to have kept tank 5 filled to within about three inches of the top of the tank. We have enough potable water for the next few days, but we could do with a refill for the trailer tank.
GreenHab:
Crops Watered: yes
Crop Condition: No noticeable change since yesterday.
Transportation:
Blue: Used - no
Oil Checked: no
Fuel Consumed: 0 gallons = 0 L
Tire Status:
Kawasaki ATV 1: Used - yes
Oil Checked: yes
Fuel Consumed: 1 gallon = 3.8 L
Tire Status: good
Kawasaki ATV 2: Used - no
Oil Checked: yes
Fuel Consumed: 0 gallons = 0 L
Tire Status: good
Kawasaki ATV 3: Used - no
Oil Checked: yes
Fuel Consumed: 0 gallons = 0 L
Tire Status: good
Notes/Comments: ATV 1 was used in (one) solo, out-of-sim trip for project MAST.
HVAC: Nothing further to report.
Mars Surface Suits: Suit 4, PLSS 3, helmet 3 were used on (walking) EVA (along with William's new Moonskin MCP). There was difficulty with the connection from the water bag tube (Platypus) to the helmet tube. We'll take a closer look at this tomorrow, but at this point it may just not have been connected correctly.
Computers/Networking Infrastructure: Nothing further to report.
Appliances: Nothing further to report.
Data Logger: Nothing further to report.
Upgrade Work: Nothing further to report.
Notes/Comments: I'm delighted that everything is working so well! The only support request I can think of right now is that the garbage tanks on the trailer are nearly full.
