Purpose of EVA: Orienteering for photogrammetry experiment

The photogrammetry experiment aims to create 3D maps of the terrain around the MDRS. The quality and usefulness of the map will be assessed by other EVAs, using the map to orient themselves. This maps are created using Drone imagery, and this first EVA aims to map out a first point of interest outside of the station.

Start time: 10 : 30 AM

End time: 12 : 15 AM

Narrative: We went to Compass Rock with Curiosity and Opportunity. Once we were on site, we started an orienteering activity. Gaspard and Adèle searched the points we chose during EVA #7. The activity lasted 30 minutes and then we started using the drone for videos. We gathered interesting datas for the photogrammetry experiment. We couldn’t take a shot while driving the rovers due to a configuration issue but we fixed it after coming back to the station.
