24Jan2011, 10:30-12:30 local, Militzer/Horst
Conditions: mostly calm, upper 30's, clear
Purpose: RMY swap, Soil Samples, Update Mote Code
10:40 Rad Cleaned with Methanol, did not notice desiccant condition
10:35-10:45 Mote Software Updated version 2.4
11:00-11:27 Mast Lowered. 11:08 RMY swapped. Previous sensor seemed ok and did not hear any bearing noise. Swapped anyway. Zeroed and 'boom-directioned to zero' on new sensor: consistent with previous unit. It did seem as though the new sensor's prop was rotating and we didn't noticed a reported velocity. It did start reporting speed with numbers about .4 so we assumed it is ok. 11:11 adn and aup while setting 'ZN' and 'BD'
11:15 Kh2O cleaned. Voltage rose from 1.25 to 1.6 volts.
NOTE: Mast bolts on lowest joint were slightly loose; tightened them up.
ETI gauge was 2/3 full so we expect it to drain soon.
11:30-12:30 Soil Samples taken first at the main and then auxiliary locations. Container 1,0-3 and 1,3-6 were at main. Containers 2,0-3 and 2,3-6 were at aux.
