EVA #5

Purpose of EVA: To collect clay

Start time: 14.06

End time: 16.20

Narrative: We started decompression at 14:01 and then drove out to Brahe. Lot began digging and collecting samples near the road. Later, the team moved up the hill to gather additional samples and conducted a coil test.

Afterward, they descended back to the initial site to collect possible blue and red clay. Further tests were carried out by adding water and observing how the clay reacted. Matteo documented the process on video, while Elisa handled audio recording. Dave provided guidance and took photographs throughout.

We then headed to the area between North Ridge and Cow Dung Road, where we walked around and collected more clay samples before driving back.
