Journalist Report: Sol 0, the beginning of human search for biosignatures of Mars.
Crew 322 started their first mission on sol 0 at Mars. This largely included training and learning how to use all of the equipment and doing a sample EVA. The EVA was to locate a specific location where the rover was located that found the location of potential biosignatures, that were described as gypsum. The crew did the EVA’s in pairs of two and three total. One of the analogue astronauts had a topographic map and the other had a compass and a tripod (with the tripod noting the signal of the location of the rover). Two of the crews were able to locate the rover and one of the groups didn’t due to issues with communication.
Following the sample training EVA, the group embarked to do training on the rovers they were to be using. Everyone learned very fast and did a fast route out and back for practice.
