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.
