Summary Title: Back In Action
Mission Status: All operations nominal
Sol Activity Summary: Another quick breakfast of cereal and oats, the crew was a bit slower to rise this morning after a late-night Terraforming Mars game. Cloudy and foggy weather delayed the EVA again, but this time the crew was able to go out and perform a full EVA in the afternoon. Time spent at the Hab was filled with preparing the rover project for its next outing and supporting the RF project. Once the crew had returned to the Hab, the crew’s scientist immediately began the brick making process, which now needs to be split across 2 days to address power concerns. After a meal of very good Martian Chili, the crew enjoyed a more relaxed and quieter evening.
Look Ahead Plan: The crew scientist will continue the brick making process over the next couple evenings. The next EVA will give the rover team a chance to test the rover in a new environment. And the health and safety officer will look to evaluate data gathered on the last EVA and prepare for the next one.
Anomalies in work: Foggy and cloudy morning, fog cleared and partially cloudy in the afternoon
Weather: Partially cloudy, windy evening
Crew Physical Status: Healthy and fit, relaxed and in high spirits
EVA: Katharina, Ben, Idris and Armand were on EVA 8. Ben was investigating a new region to collect samples for his brick making project. One hard rock and one soft clay sample were collected from the region around Phobos Peak. Katharina ran into difficulties with the RF Mapping project early due to a mechanical failure of the antenna on the RF meter. With some guidance from the commander over CAPCOM and the steady hand of the crew engineer, she was still able to acquire good data from the area.
