Log Book for March 6, 2003
General Engineering Report
Matt Bamsey Reporting

Generator/Electricity: Check carried out at 0615 hrs. Run time now at 2639.4 hours.

Propane: At 0615 hrs the tanks measured: South 56%, North 27%, Furnace 68%.

Water: Refill of the internal tank at 1100 hrs from 10-53 gallons.

GreenHab: No progress made.

Everest Rover: Daily meetings to be set up with the University of Michigan team from here on out.

ARES Rover: No progress made.

Datalogger: Figured out way to integrate Datalogger with MDRS suit.

Additional Activates: ATV #1 taken into Grand Junction for repair and servicing. It the carburetor jetting needed calibration to account for altitude that MDRS sits at (as when the ATVs come off the line - they're set for use at sea level). Also, the mechanics took us through some correct cleaning/servicing procedures for the future. These procedures will be added to the hab manual before the completion of Expedition One. The two other ATVs also require servicing in Grand Junction. The fees for this additional servicing will be covered by our sponsor Kawasaki.
