- | - At ~1am July 5th, 2025 SSP TA Yujean reached out to Zach concerning and issue with the dome and weather station not talking / connecting to ACP. After restarting TMO's desktop and turning on/off the USB port controlling both of these devices, Zach was able to remotely recover. Everything was working and connected at the start of the night when Zach did their usually pre-SSP use checks. Zach monitored the entire shift to ensure the connection held.

In doing so we noticed three things: 1) F&S expressed that the chain was warped, 2) one of the pulley wheels came off the dome (this was fixed), and 3) the trigger switch that determines the open position snapped off (this wheel is currently on the white table in the " | ||
