Afterwards, we opened and observed: Cart 12, plate 7164 Cart 13, plate 6606 - DONE Cart 16, plate 3647 - Most likely DONE Cart 18, plate 5723 Cart 15, plate 5715 Cart 6, plate 6332, 229-04; 1XABBA, faint: 15,21,34,133,173,297 During afternoon checkout, we found that the slithead latch to SP1 would not extend. Dan found that the air supply line got pinched inside of the door of the specmec box. Once it was freed, the latch worked properly. ---- Observing Log ---- Afternoon: ---------- 22:30Z Started the afternoon checkout.

We attempted to move it back to the extended state through the MCP without success. We moved the telescope to instrument change and verified that the LED was red to the SP1 slithead latch. With the instrument panel, we disengaged all latches and dismounted the cartridge but was still not able to re-engage the SP1 slithead latch. We caught Dan coming out of the meeting on site and had him come down and take a look. After some investigation, he found that the supply airline hose was pinched within the Specmec box door. The hose was freed and the latch was able to engage. Night: ----------------- We delayed ventilating due to heavy clouds and lots of rain/hail. 02:51Z - We started the cloud camera because the rain stopped, the radar returns are no longer closeby, and the humidity has dropped slightly. There are tons of clouds still around, so we will continue to wait. 03:28Z - Started ventilating. Still lots of clouds around, and the wind has picked up. The gusts are now over the closure limit. 05:14Z - Mounted cart 12. Clouds parted. Opened enclosure. Filled spectrographs. 05:33Z - gotoField cart 12, plate 7164.
