Journalist’s report, crew 314, 14Apr2025
Author: Batoul Tani
Today was a productive and eventful day for the crew, marked by scientific progress, exploration, and creative outreach.
Two EVAs were conducted today in support of Louis’s (astronomer) astronomy experiment. These field activities allowed for important data collection and observations under varying environmental conditions. During the EVAs, Antoine (engineer) assessed new potential locations for future installations and successfully removed devices from the initial test site.
Back at the station, Odile dedicated time to communications and content creation. She filmed new footage that will soon be shared with the public : stay tuned!
Batoul(journalist) obtained her first results from her microbiological study and has already observed significant differences between the test conditions. Further analysis is underway, and more detailed results will be communicated shortly.
In the Science Dome, both Bérengère (greenhab officer) and Batoul spent time analyzing samples under the microscope, deepening their understanding of microbial growth and soil interactions.
Bérengère observed the early development of mycelium in her fungal experiment. While spores have yet to appear, these first signs are promising and will be monitored closely in the coming days.
The day also included our daily sports session to stay physically and mentally fit, as well as an evening team meeting to debrief and plan the next activities.
