QUICK SUMMARY:

IFO is DOWN for MAINTENANCE

With full brevity, something is broken and we don't know why. You can use this alog as a glossary for ideas and tests that our experts have had today:

Much like yesterday, guesses involved the IMC, so Sheila and Ryan went into the PSL with no immediate culprits. IFO was extremely glitchy while observing so we made the call not to try locking at the risk of damaging. If comissioners think of anything to test, they will let me know.

Relevant alogs from throughout the day:

Alogs are still being written as it's been a long and busy day. I will add more throughout the shift.
