Field Test
Temperature & Humidity


Remarks
During this run, we had the Vernier temperature and relative humidity probes in place within the core mouse hab section. After sitting in the fluctuating sun for 30 minutes, the HVAC and mouse hab fans were switched on for ten minutes. As expected, the humidity rose within the hab section, while the temperature dropped slightly. A minute after turning off the fans, the unit was opened briefly to insert a stand-alone dual thermometer. Once again, the fans were switched on, but for only a minute.
