Sol Activity Summary: With the slow rhythm of Mars, we woke up once again at 8am to have breakfast while having our morning communications. At 11, Commander Cesare, Crew Scientist Ellenah, and Crew Engineer Morgan suited up for an EVA in the northwestern region of MDRS, called “The Moons” in some old map. When the rovers reached the “do not proceed further” charge level, the EVA crew began setting up two experiments: Ellenah took readings from her solar power experiment at the highest elevation reached until now. Morgan began digging a trench for his experiment, supported by Cesare when possible. Ellenah and Cesare occupied the time when Morgan needed to work alone with some meditation and relax. After refilling the trench, the trio walked along Brahe Highway, then down to the Sea of Shells, where Cesare collected some gypsum samples. Back at the hab, the crew continued their work on projects. The afternoon brought a mix of work, tired naps, and a short movie. Working on our reports right now, while the Crew Journalist and GHO prepare dinner. We passed the halfway point of the mission, already on our trajectory back to Earth.
