EVA #: 8
Purpose of EVA: The team went to Antoine’s experiment site to conduct the experiment. Antoine explained his experiment before the EVA. All participating crew members will analyze the surrounding landscape according to the defined criteria.
Start time: 2:06 p.m.
End time: 3:49 p.m.
Narrative: Preparations began at 1:30 PM with the EVA officially starting at 2:06 PM following a radio check. Communication was one-sided throughout: transmissions from the EVA crew were clear, but CapCom-to-crew reception was frequently poor. The crew traveled along Cow Dung Road to the destination they arrived with no further news. They started completing the document for Antoine’s research. They finished at 2:44 PM, so they went exploring to Sea of Shells. They drove carefully because the roads were difficult.
The team climbed a hill to have better visibility. They got back into their rovers and headed back. The crew returned to the station, reported rover parameters, and completed the standard 5-minute airlock decompression sequence, concluding the EVA.
