Summary of Hab operations: Today in the Hab, we began our day with the fifth medical simulation, which was a bit different from the previous ones as it took place at the end of the night to introduce stress-inducing conditions. Afterward, we dedicated time to cooking, socializing, making progress on our experiments, and advancing our individual reports. We also engaged in some physical exercise to maintain our fitness. To wrap up the day, we held our regular team meeting to review our progress and plan the tasks ahead.
