Green Hab Report  – Sol 18
Report written by: Victoria DA-POIAN (Crew Biologist)

Date : 03/02/2017

Functionality: The heater in the green hab is working well. Today was a very sunny day. I checked the temperature in the GreenHab this morning. It was around 35 Celsius degrees around 10:15 AM while the temperature in the tunnel was around 7.6 Celsius degrees. I switched on the cooler (on stage 2).

The GreenHab temperature was 19 Celsius degrees at 6:00PM while it was 8 Celsius degrees in the tunnel. I watered the seedlings this morning and I did this afternoon.


Status: The existing seedlings in the greenhab are continuing to grow well. There are spinach, lettuce, radish, and beans growing very well in the small pots. I planted a new lettuce today.

The Vegidair is functionning well. The pump is working well (it was making strong noise in the morning, so I added water). The day/night cycle seems to have some issues, we wll investigate that.
Unfortunately, there will not be a new crew to take over after us so I am worried about this.
