EVA # 1
Author: Jen Carver-Hunter
Purpose of EVA: Geologic sample collection
Start time: 10:00
End time: 12:00
Narrative: The crew was prepped and ready for their EVA shortly after 10:00. They used Spirit, Perseverance, and Curiosity rovers to travel to Brahe Hwy to collect their first specimens. At first crew members were worried about being in the wrong location until they found the correct specimens. After this geologic sample collection, the crew returned to rovers. Then they turned south on Cow Dung Rd and drove to their second location, which was near the balancing rock south of dry creek wash to collect their second and third specimens. While at the second location they noticed an alien life form observing their activity but they ignored the alien and continued with their mission. After collecting specimens at their second location, the crew returned to the Hab in the rovers.
