Sol Summary – March 19th

Crew 309 Sol Summary Report 19Mar2025

Sol: 3

Summary Title:

Author’s name: Co-Commander A

Mission Status: Nominal

Sol Activity Summary:

  • Commander B and crew engineer started the day by performing and EVA. The crew medic continued work on our robot meant to transport medical supplies. The crew is continuing to experience issues with the sensors we’re supposed to wear during EVAs so the crew scientist and engineer began troubleshooting. In the afternoon the GreenHab officer and Medic completed an EVA.

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

Anomalies in work:

  • The Tobbii eye-tracking glasses disconnected after 30 minutes on EVA 6. Engineer and Scientist are troubleshooting why this may be. Only theory is that the glasses occasionally stop recording when they are out of range of the computer’s Wi-Fi.
  • Fuzzy part of the mic was having difficulty staying attached to the microphone. It fell off mid-EVA but EVA 6 was able to find the fuzzy component and bring it back to the Hab.
  • For EVA 7, we are experimenting with hooking up the eye-tracking glasses with the external battery to the portable laptop to see if we can extend eye tracking recording for at least one participant.
  • Update: the heating issue is resolved now that there are no longer excessive winds.
  • Accidentally made 6x the amount of onions than intended. Read instructions in the future.
