Sol: 1

Summary Title: First day of work

Author’s name: Co-Commander A

Mission Status: Nominal

Sol Activity Summary:

  • This morning Co-Commander A and Scientist completed an EVA while the remainder of the crew worked on tasks in the hab. In the afternoon, Engineer and Medic completed an EVA, followed by a final EVA completed by Co-Commander B and GreenHab.
  • The team is adjusting to life on Mars. We encountered a number of technical issues and are working to learn our crew responsibilities. Despite these challenges, the team remains optimistic.

Look Ahead Plan: We will be conducting two EVAs tomorrow in the morning and afternoon

Anomalies in work:

  • Solution for eye tracking device 681 is to use an external battery pack while they are on EVA so that it doesn’t deplete and turn off. The MC external battery packs need a lot of time to charge, so we are using Jesus.
  • This is not a possibility for the device 691 because it does not have an external charging port. The solution for this one is to add the battery as late as possible. The battery packs are dead right now, but Jesus is using his personal.
  • The depressurization door opened, need to close it more securely.

Weather: Sunny and windy, 43F / 70F

Crew Physical Status: Nominal
