Log Book for April 26, 2003
General Engineering Report
Joan Roch Reporting

Generator/Electricity: Main generator checked and started at approx. 20:00 yesterday and at 08:00 this morning. Runs fine. More stats on next report. All electrical systems checked inside the hab and working perfectly.

Propane: Levels checked yesterday and this morning, tanks appear to be full. More stats on next report.

Water: Refill of the internal tank at 21:00 approx from 30 to 55 gallons. External tank full. We still can't use the tank for the liquid toilet flush. We should be able to resolve our last problems during the afternoon. Some cleanup may be required in the GreenHab for the pump to work. Otherwise, a bottle of water will be used to flush this toilet.

Computers/Networking: DirecWay connexion established at 23:00 approx after running into some prblems with apparent weak RF signal. LAN restored at approx 01:00 during the night after resolving IP conflict and DHCP problem when using the Hab Laptop. The main computer has been used to successfully share the Internet connexion instead of the laptop. The laptop is still not connected to the network for some unknown reason. All other computers are running fine.

GreenHab: No progress made.

Everest Rover: Parked in Hanksville.

Additional Activates: Not much. Planning mainly. More activities this afternoon when the ATVs and rovers will be driven back from Hanksville to the hab.

Next Report: 04.27.2003, in the evening
