Narrative:
The EVA 1 crew initiated operations with successful donning and doffing procedures for the analog suits, followed by standard pre-EVA checks and communication tests. Airlock depressurization was nominal, and all COMS were confirmed functional prior to egress.
Shortly after departure, the EVA team received a partial abort directive from Mission Support Center. In response, Commander Rym and Crew Engineer Ricardo executed an immediate safety and route reassessment, returning to RAM Station to adjust mission plan.
Following the directive, the crew transferred from two rovers to one, with Commander Rym parking Rover Curiosity and joining Crew Engineer Ricardo aboard Rover Perseverance. The crew ensured all vehicles were powered down and secured prior to consolidation.
After confirming mission parameters and receiving clearance from CapCom, EVA 1 proceeded nominally. The Perseverance rover departed RAM Station and navigated toward Marble Ritual, while maintaining full communication link with HabCom. Upon arrival, the EVA Crew parked the rover, confirmed vehicle stability, and explored on foot the Marble Ritual site.
The Crew Engineer Ricardo and Commander Rym then conducted short-distance traverses on stable terrain to assess suit mobility, visibility, and communication performance under field conditions. Environmental awareness was maintained at all times, with situational monitoring for non-simulation external activity. It was very windy!
Upon completion of surface exploration, the crew returned to Rover Perseverance and conducted a nominal return transit to MDRS Station. Airlock repressurization and post EVA safety checks were completed successfully, with all systems and personnel confirmed safe and in good condition.
