EVA : #2

Author: David Laude

Purpose of EVA: Required practice/trial EVA to Marble Ritual by rover and then walk the area to check backpack fitting.

Start time for EVA : 3:03 pm

End time for EVA: 3:59 pm

Narrative: We got suited up and I tried a two piece suit and found it to have a heaviness on my lower back area so went with my usual #7 one piece. All seemed well then except for difficulty finding the radio transmit key when needed even though in a convenient location. We’ll have to find a better way to find it, maybe by placing it at the base of an easily found antenna. We walked to Marble Ritual placing stones in it and brief walk in area before returning to base.
