Summary Title: Minor setbacks, Major Progress
Mission Status: all things nominal
Sol Activity Summary: Earlier rise this morning to prepare for an earlier EVA. EVA team was prepped and in the airlock by 0900, this time Idris’s project was started by placing the first environmental sensor. The afternoon was filled with a 500 piece puzzle and a staggered lunch of leftovers. The longest game of BS ever was played and then crew members separated to handle individual research tasks and role responsibilities. While Ben’s first attempt at baking bricks took more time and power than expected, it was a strong first step in refining procedures for sample collection and brick production. A cake was baked and decorated for New Years Eve that the whole crew is looking forward too, along with bringing in the new year.
Look Ahead Plan: Some time will be taken in the evening to coordinate the rest of the mission’s EVAs to allow for all research projects to be finished.
Anomalies in work: Rolling brown outs that started around 1200, believed to be due to extra power draw from crew members research project in conjunction with an increased cloud cover
Weather: Cloudy throughout the day
Crew Physical Status: staying healthy and fit
EVA: Idris, Vindhya, and Katharina took the rovers south to Kissing Camel Ridge. Idris placed 1 sensor for his project and Vindhya took some images to be used to train the autonomous rover navigation. The EVA team spent some time hiking the ridges and taking more images before returning via rover to the Hab.

Summary Title: Big Steps
Mission Status: All things nominal
Sol Activity Summary: Crew had delicious blueberry pancakes and "spacon" for breakfast today. Ben, Daria, and Armand got their first test of a real EVA, including pathfinding, endurance hiking, and identifying samples for Ben’s construction project. The Crew Commander made a ridiculous amount of rice that was used for lunch and dinner. The afternoon was filled with multiple games of Clue that allowed the crew to relax while keeping their deductive reasoning skills sharp. The evening was just as tame as the crew continued to rest and prepare their projects for future EVAs.
Look Ahead Plan: With one project successfully started, the crew readies Idris’s sensor suite to bring on EVA 4. The rover basic functionality has been proven in the Hab and minor tweaks are being prepared for EVA. Katharina’s antennas have arrived at the Rock Shop, once they have been delivered to the Hab final prep for her research project can be completed. The crew is looking forward to celebrating the new year on Mars.
Anomalies in work: a few brown outs around noon but less severe than on Sol 1 and had no major impact on crew operations
Weather: Sunny and warm
Crew Physical Status: Crew is staying healthy and fit
EVA: Ben, Daria, and Armand headed North from the Hab on foot. Finding the trail head up to the top of Hab Ridge took some time, but was expedited by help from the crew at the Hab. Once at the top of Hab Ridge, the EVA team headed South to find a region identified by Ben that contains the right samples for his research. After sample collection the crew followed their train back to the Hab.

Journalist Report Title: Collecting Rocks
We started the morning by waking up to the smell of blueberry pancakes and spacon. After eating a delicious meal Keegan prepared Ben, Armand, and I got ready for our EVA of the day. Once we had our flight suits on, we all made sure that we were “snatched” before getting on the rest of the gear. After yesterday’s EVAs, we were all much quicker at getting our gear on. While out on EVA we walked from the hab to Hab’s Ridge so Ben could collect rock samples, Armand could observe how we react to certain challenges we faced while out on EVA, and I could work on finding the best way of taking photos while all geared up. After Ben got his samples, we all sat down for a bit to relieve our backs of the weight. As we made our way back, we realized we were not sure of where to make a turn to go down the ridge. This taught us an important lesson in navigation, how to use a compass, and paying attention to your surroundings so you can find landmarks.
While Ben, Armand, and I were out on EVA, the others worked on cleaning up breakfast before beginning their work for the day. After individual crew role responsibilities were complete, Idris and Vindhya worked on their research projects. Idris was able to finish setting up her sensors so she can hopefully start collecting data tomorrow. Vindhya worked on the code for the linear actuator and was able to verify the feasibility of our research. After that a chicken and rice soup was prepared for lunch.
Once we got back from EVA and we drank an enormous amount of water, we all sat down for lunch. During lunch Katharina gave all of us massages to help relieve us of the stresses that have been on our shoulders the past couple days. After lunch a few rounds of Clue were played and then we all took some time to rest from the exhausting day before dinner. Once dinner was prepared, we sat around the table together to eat before getting the rest of our work done. The rest of the night will include drinking coffee, working more on the rover, and playing more games before heading to bed.
