Narrative: This EVA intended to fix the problem with the WLAN router at repeater hill. Although we tried hard with DC/DC converters and voltage dividers we did not succeed at the end, so we took the WLAN router back into the MDRS for thorough checking. This EVA was concluded with the testflight of the aerobot. After two short flights, we had to cancel further trials, as a harder landing crashed a part of the structure (which we will fix overnight). A bigger concern is the missing camera signal from the "Black Widow" webcam, installed on the aerobot. In the lab, shortly before the flight it had still worked, while outside it ceased operating - the reason for that behaviour is still unknown.
