Log Book for February 6, 2003
GreenHab Report
Heike Wierzchowski Reporting

This morning we got the living machine to work again. It seemed, the supply from the 110 ga tank to the greenhab was frozen. Tanks filled again and all worked out normally, but in the evening tank 5 run empty again. It has no leak. We think it's either the cold outside, that has frozen the supply or the pipe is plugged by anything. We'll study the emails and documentations sent through mission support tomorrow morning and try to get it work again. It's been a hard day. Good night from Mars!
