Crew 314 EVA Report 15-04-2025
EVA #12
Author: Antoine Dubois (Crew Engineer)
Purpose of EVA: The aim of this EVA was to identify and evaluate a new measurement site for Antoine’s science experiment. After leaving the station, the crew headed north on foot around the science dome to explore a potential site. The purpose of this site evaluation was to determine whether the area presented the conditions required for collecting data on movements or environmental variables essential to Antoine’s research. The EVA also included a traverse of the rover to Green Mars View, which enabled the team to recover soil samples for Bérengère’s experiment.
Start time: 9:34 a.m.
End time: 12:15 p.m.
Narrative:
The EVA team began decompression procedures at 9:34 AM, with the process completed by 9:39 AM. At 9:40 AM, the crew started walking, contouring the Science Dome to head north in search of a new measurement site for Antoine’s experiment.
At 9:53 AM, the team stopped and began setting up equipment at coordinates 425100, 518000 (Utah region). The setup phase concluded at 10:20 AM, after which the crew returned to the rovers.
At 10:27 AM, Curiosity rover was driven by Antoine, with Odile as passenger, while Perseverance was driven by Béa, with Bérengère as passenger.
At 10:46 AM, the team made a short stop in a special region to establish communications before continuing on the road toward Green View.
At 11:48 AM, the crew left Green View to return to the station. This time, Odile drove Curiosity with Antoine as passenger, and Bérengère drove Perseverance, with Béa as passenger.
The crew arrived safely at the station at 12:12 PM, concluding a successful EVA. A 5-minute depressurization process began at 12:15 PM.
