Author: Meddi MOUMOUNI (GreenHab Officer)
Purpose of EVA:Collecting the resupply at the start of the EVA then going to Marble Rituals to change the batteries of the atmospheric instruments, and Finally going to North Ridge to do Stratigraphy including sketches and drone photos by walking around north ridge main mountain. This will also be a way of testing the drones that encountered some minor battery issues during #05 & #07 EVA. Going back to the MDRS directly after that.
Start time: 9am
End time: 11am
Narrative: Successfully collected the resupply in front of the Hab, then drove to the atmospheric instruments at Marble Rituals to change batteries. When finished, walked back to the rovers to go to North Ridge and stopped the rovers at the intersection of Cow Dung Road & Gateway to Candor. Went to the East and North face of North Ridge and made sketches of the North ridge stratigraphy. We then managed to do some of the drone testing we wanted to do but time ran short so we headed back to the MDRS using the rovers.
