Operations
Procedures/Timelines – Timelines for FDs 98 and 99 were prepared and submitted to POSA for distribution.
Experiment Operations
Earth Obs- Dave reported that it is difficult to find time to perform Earth Obs photography, but he would attempt to take pictures of Mt. Pinatubo.
TEF- Dave reported the temperatures of the TEFs:-170C and -150C. BTS BCM/GSM Swap- Dave stated that he was going to attempt the locker swap once more. He stated that he would have to cock the BCM 30 to 40 degrees to remove it. MOST informed him of the information Shannon Lucid provided and asked him to wait until additional words could be sent up.
EVA MUT- Dave reported that he was still unable to locate the MUT. He was informed that we were still waiting on a stowage bag number from Houston and would let him know as soon as possible. Dave stated that he had looked in every bag and has not seen it. He expressed concerns as to the uses and said it was not critical to have for the EVA.
Experiment Hardware
MOST will packet up the information on CGBA tonight so that Dave can attempt the EOM re-set prior to the critical time on Jan. 2nd.
Radiograms
Nothing to report.
Stowage/Transfer
Dave reported that he has approximately 18 bags packed. He stated that we should bring everything possible down to make more operating room for Andy. He would like a list of equipment which should be left on-board. He will make suggestions of other items which he thinks we should bring down which are not on the list.
SMP/Medical
Dave reported that he would perform chemical and microbial water sampling today. He was informed that this would alter his schedule for follow-up ops (T+3 activities). He will perform the air and surface microbial sampling tomorrow, 2 January, as scheduled.
Dave reported that he moved the TEPC back to its previous location in the Priroda module. He did record the display data and completed download procedures prior to this move.
CPA data from 30 December: CO 9 ppm, HCN 0, HCl 0.1.

One work file (English form 24) was submitted for uplink today. Uplink was
attempted during the afternoon Altair pass but it failed. There will be
another Altair pass later this evening.
