Sol Activity Summary: On the final day of the mission, the crew embraced their remaining tasks with a bittersweet mix of motivation and nostalgia. The day was spent organizing equipment, wrapping up experiments, and capturing final video footage—including a lighthearted segment on cooking with freeze-dried food that reflected their creativity and resilience. Though no EVA could take place due to poor weather, the team maintained their commitment to safety and routine, finishing strong with one last workout. In the Science Dome, Bérengère devoted the day to her research on spore germination and plant-fungus interactions under Martian conditions.
