Heaters are used for the common manifold. Minimum temperature is 60 F (15.6 C). Currently at 75 F (23.9 C). Heaters are needed during flight as well.

They tried nine increments on the cabin temperature, but temperature has not increased, staying at 23.18 C.

SpaceX asking to increment temperature three more increments.

Going to try re-enabling prop heaters with higher resistance limits to gather additional data. Temperatures are still OK, around 75 F (23.9 C).

Going external for the next 15 minutes.

Looks like cabin temperature is holding steady. Going into warm mixing mode.

Seeing a loop-B? out of bounds caution and are investigating.

Two items for TCS configuration. For TCS Loop problem. Slightly too cold for that configuration. Will be clearing alerts and going back to previous configuration. Have fixed manifold heaters and back to full fault tolerance. Cause was resistor limits being set too conservatively.

SpaceX have successfully reconfigured the TCS loops and cleared the caution.

Cabin temperatures are slowly climbing. Still a bit cold, but can feel its getting warmer.

Dragon does still have control of temperature. Temperature hasn't stabilised yet, but Dragon can increment if you want. Dragon will be applying three increments.

Status update. Two items. Cabin temperature is continuing to rise slowly. Can increase 2-4 increments if you want. You can prepare for presleep early if you want. Procedure is 4.050.

Crew in pre-sleep.  Wake up 0922am PST.  Major burn at 0908am will probably be the wake up call...
Best quote heard during an inspection, "I was unaware that I was the only one who was aware."

Checking in on pre-sleep activities. Not going to use audio at this time. Adjusting the lighting. No audio or lighting settings. Will be adjusting manually.
