Crew 309 Sol Summary Report 20Mar2025
Sol: 4
Summary Title:
Author’s name: Co-Commander A
Mission Status: Nominal
Sol Activity Summary:
- Commander A and B went on an EVA in the morning. The crew scientist and engineer continued troubleshooting the eye tracking equipment and think they have found a solution, but they are unable to implement it due to a lack of an ethernet cable on Mars. The entire crew continued working on the mission vlog throughout the day. In the afternoon the Greenhab and science officer went on and EVA. Martian activity was high today. A malfunction of the wifi system delayed crew reports by 2+ hours.
Look Ahead Plan: We will be conducting three EVAs tomorrow in the morning and afternoon
Anomalies in work:
- The Tobbii eye tracking glasses are now not connecting to either computer at all. Scientist is troubleshooting.
- We found a potential default setting which may be shutting the Tobii controllers down when it starts to go low on the battery. An ethernet cable needs to be used to connect the controllers. The app may also be out of date. We also were able to reconnect the glasses, the default password needed to be used.
- We tried to use the Tobii glasses without an internal battery but just with the external battery, this approach was not effective.
