Journalist Report Title (if applicable) : Mars as far as the eye can see
We woke up with a dance session prepared by Adèle and Lou. We started with 20 minutes of Just Dance and then we followed a Bachata class from Lou.
Today, we kept on exploring ! This time, Lou, Célia and Gaspard went in the direction of Kissing Camel Ridge. They were able to bring the PARROT drone to take some beautiful videos from the base, the rovers and their exploration by foot. Once again, they discovered new landscapes before their amazed eyes. Coming back from the EVA, Gaspard told us : “You can witness Mars as far as the eye can see, there is no sign of life there”.
Meanwhile, Julien went to the Science Dome to perform an Orbital Architecture session and Félix planted the radishes and worked on his RaspBerry Pi. Adèle prepared her next HSO briefs: we will keep on practicing with the tools that can help and guide us for our introspection and relationship with others. In the context of isolation, our social interactions are limited to those we have inside the crew. It is very important to keep working and informing ourselves on Non Violent Communication. Whether it is in our everyday life, but even more while we are on a mission like this one, having tools that allow us to learn more about ourselves strengthens our connexion with others. This guarantees a healthy climate in the station, where the needs and limits of everyone are fully respected.
In the beginning of the afternoon, we did a team brief for the preparation of the mid-mission video. We are going to film a short movie about what we are living and the experiments we are conducting.
Adèle then went to the Science Dome to install the NeuroErgo experiment, so that Julien and Gaspard could then perform their sessions. With Célia, we went to the observatory to identify why the roof refuses to open, preventing any solar observation for the last 3 sols. After testing the voltage of the batteries, we detected an issue on a mechanical stop for the opening mechanism.
In the end of the afternoon, Lou and I finalized the preparation of the Photogrammetry experiment. Tomorrow, a first team will leave with the 2D version of the map to do the orienteering race we prepared on Sol 9.
