BTS Checkout; Interactions; MIPS telemetry prep

OTHER ACTIVITIES: Packing; PMC
Experiment Hardware – BTS checkout and functional check was completed. Mike informed MOST that he encountered one anomaly, but time did not allow him to elaborate. MOST will attempt to obtain more information on this on our first comm opportunity tomorrow.
Stowage/Transfer – Mike indicated that he would be returning the MiSDE cable which had been cut following the Spektr collision, as well as potentially around 0.5 MLE of CUPS accessories, which are currently useless onboard.
SMP/Medical – Mike participated in a no-mission impact PMC.
