Report from Sol 0 evening and Sol 1
Crew embarked on a night EVA to capture media assets on Sol 0 departing at 9:30PM and returning at approximately 11PM. Photo assets were captured by Mackenzie Calle and Rym Chaid. It was incredibly successful with stunning night images and crew felt thrilled (but tired) after returning to the hab. Crew was primarily directly behind the hab near ridge where the satellite device sits.
Between 1:45-3:30AM crew participated in the World’s Biggest Analog Opening Ceremony, joining the 15 other habitats participating to officially kick-off the WBA. We enjoyed seeing the other habs participating.
Due to the late night we had a later start today at 9AM. Crew set out our goals for the day and completed all pre-mission surveys as well as Sol 1 surveys. We also familiarized ourselves significantly more with the hab and facilities.
As journalist I spent time walking around each space and brainstorming photo ideas as well as capturing images of the facilities, crew, and Martian landscape.
