Anomalies in work:
General:
Digital Compass did not work.
EVA 1:
– fNIRS scanner did not connect, restarting did not solve the issue.
– fNIRs (8219) did not work. During EVA, one fNIRs fell off during the rover drive to the site, one fNIRs fell off on the way back.
– One pair of Tobii glasses did not work, setup nominal but one was switched to ethernet. This data was lost after finishing the EVA due to – connection error.
– PLSS ventilation failed during the drive.
– Visor fell off.

EVA 2:
– fNIRS (8219) did not pair with laptop and we were not able to start the test.
– Tobii glasses (6881) setup was nominal but disconnected during EVA. Unable to establish connection after finishing EVA, leading to loss of data.
– PLSS ventilation failed during pre-EVA.

EVA 3:
– fNIRS scanner did not connect, restarting solved the issue.
– fNIRS (8219) connected to laptop. Device experienced an electrical issue. Error with Bluetooth antenna but left probe (2) was working.

Mission Plan – <Date – November 9th>

Report title: Mission Plan
Crew #: 322
Position: Experimental Team
Report prepared by: Erin Richardson

Mission Plan:

Our mission objective is to conduct a full-scale Martian analog designed to study decision making under conflicting information in isolated, confined, and extreme environments. This week, we have a diverse, highly skilled, international crew of 6 staying in the habitat. During their stay, the crew will conduct a total of 12 EVAs. The crew will conduct at most 3 EVAs per day, where no crew member ever participates in more than one EVA per day. Throughout the week, the crew members will visit different EVA sites and complete missions with unique objectives, tasks, and tools. Beyond the EVAs, the crew will complete an ultrasound cardiac imaging task, train on Mars-relevant tasks in virtual reality, and conduct a study on space nutrition and supplementation via the GreenHab. We are looking forward to a busy, exciting, and productive week ahead!

Journalist Report – <date – November 9th>

Report title: Journalist Report
Crew #: 322
Position: Scientist
Report prepared by: Anastasia G. Yanchilina
Date: (09-11-2025)
Sol: 0

Journalist Report: Sol 0, the beginning of human search for biosignatures of Mars.

Crew 322 started their first mission on sol 0 at Mars. This largely included training and learning how to use all of the equipment and doing a sample EVA. The EVA was to locate a specific location where the rover was located that found the location of potential biosignatures, that were described as gypsum. The crew did the EVA’s in pairs of two and three total. One of the analogue astronauts had a topographic map and the other had a compass and a tripod (with the tripod noting the signal of the location of the rover). Two of the crews were able to locate the rover and one of the groups didn’t due to issues with communication.

Following the sample training EVA, the group embarked to do training on the rovers they were to be using. Everyone learned very fast and did a fast route out and back for practice.
