Summary Title: Sound the Alarm: Emergency Simulation Protocols on Mars
Author’s name: Arnaud de Wergifosse (Executive Officer)
Mission Status: Ongoing
Sol Activity Summary: Today’s mission blended scientific work, routine duties, and a high-stress emergency drill. The day began with a successful EVA by Bérengère, the GreenHab Officer, who collected soil samples under favorable conditions. That night, the team underwent a surprise medical emergency simulation, testing their coordination and stress response in challenging conditions. Bérengère also managed greenhouse tasks and handled the team’s finances. The day’s events were captured in photos showing moments of action, fatigue, and camaraderie.
Look Ahead Plan: Tomorrow, two EVAs are scheduled. The first will take place in the morning, during which Bérengère will collect soil samples from both Candor Chasma and Green Mars View, as the samples gathered today were of poor quality. The second EVA is planned for the afternoon and will involve exploring the area around Skyline Rim to take photographs and document the terrain. The crew will also continue to work on their experiment.
Anomalies in work: None was notified today.
Weather: Partly cloudy in the morning and in the afternoon. Temperatures varied between 42°F and 77°F during the entire day
Crew Physical Status: Everyone was in good health today, with no issues reported.
EVA: The EVA team began decompression at 9:34 AM and exited the Hab by 9:39 AM. After a short walk north of the Science Dome, they identified a new site for Antoine’s experiment and completed equipment setup by 10:20 AM. The crew then resumed their journey using Curiosity (driven by Antoine with Odile) and Perseverance (driven by Béa with Bérengère). A brief communication stop was made at 10:46 AM before reaching Green View. The return trip began at 11:48 AM with a switch in drivers. The team safely arrived at the MDRS at 12:12 PM, and decompression was completed by 12:20 PM. The EVA was successfully conducted without incident.
