Brief Description:  Repaired the left tank leaks

Repaired the left tank leaks. The baffle was cut in the bays that had the leaks. Proseal was applied to the leak areas. The access holes were sealed with plate covers made of equal thickness as the baffle, proseal, and blind rivets. A test of the tank after the repair showed a small leak from one of the blind rivets of the third bay plate. Pressure was released and proseal was applied to the rivet. The future leak test will tell if the leak was fixed with the proseal applied externally.The balloon is holding pressure but there was the small leak from the third bay plate rivet that was externally prosealed. No leaks were seen from any of the other tank rivets or seams.
