EVA #: 4
Purpose of EVA:
Long-distance exploration with the objective of evaluating and surveying the area north of the station.
Start time: 14:02
End time: 16:13
Narrative:
Considering that Mission Support felt the Crew Scientist had not yet fully recovered, we decided to proceed with the EVA plan involving the Commander and the Crew Scientist. Therefore, we carried out the first EVA composed of only two crew members, the longest one to date, and the one that has involved the furthest distance traveled so far. And so it was. Aboard two rovers, we reached our objective and embarked on a trek through the canyon and the surrounding landscape.
In addition to analyzing the area and studying it for future EVAs, we documented the presence of reptiles and insects with photographs and found evidence of larger animals.
The positive aspects to highlight, once again, were the perfect execution of the operation, the coordination, and the punctuality. The negative aspect was that we saw several white vans on the way there and encountered several cars on the road on the way back, which somewhat disrupted our immersion in the simulation.
