EVA #: 3
Narrative:
The purpose of this EVA was to survey much ground along travel route for film makers to consider for filming during the EVA or a later return. We will stop along the route as needed for filming. Also, for commander’s panaramic photo survey.
The EVA began at 1:30 PM heading north on Co Dung Rd. heading to final destination of Green Mars overlook, but Perseverance, with two passengers and heavy professional video camera and super duty tripod, charge dropped to 50% at Brahe Highway intersection. We decided too far to continue so turned around. During the trip there were four excellent filming stops thus making good use of the 3 hours. Returned at 4:30 PM. Dave’s panoramic photo project accomplished half of intended goals due to turning back. It will be reviewed to see if successful or if changes needed.
