Report from Sol 3
Slightly belated but the crew celebrated Canadian Thanksgiving last night! We delved into our first freeze dried food and made mashed potatoes from a box with freeze dried powdered butter. Crew Journalist Mackenzie Calle then introduced everyone to her new favorite game, Rummukib, and Commander Rym Chaid impressively won both games.
The start of Sol 3 was productive with a crew meeting to set our daily tasks and prepare for our first EVAs. Crew Scientist Shriya and Mackenzie spent the morning working in the Science Dome on Spaceseed and the structure is now complete! Crew Engineer Ricardo spent the morning in the RAM preparing for the EVA and building our preparation checklist.
Rym and Ricardo then embarked on Crew 319’s first EVA! They took Perseverance Rover to Marble Ridge for the training EVA to familiarize themselves with the spacesuits and vehicles. Shriya and Mackenzie then followed later in the afternoon with our crew’s second EVA, following the same mission plan to Marble Ridge. Along the way they discovered a Martian shell fossil specimen and brought it back to the hab for examination.
Training EVAs are now officially complete!
