Sol: 2
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.
