EVA #: 7
Purpose of EVA: Antoine will conduct an EVA to carry out his field experiment. If conditions permit, a drone will be deployed to capture the images needed for the experiment. If not, the task will be postponed and carried out during a future EVA with other crew members. In the meantime, all participating crew members will analyze the surrounding landscape according to the defined criteria.
Start time: 9:03
End time: 11:37
Narrative: Preparations began at 8:30 AM with the EVA officially starting at 9:03 AM 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, making stops along Brahe Highway 157-2 and at the Overlook, where Antoine’s experiment was conducted due to battery concerns limiting further vehicle travel. An additional stop was made on Cow Dung Road for Matìas’s experiment, during which GPS coordinates were recorded multiple times by the CapCom.
The crew returned to the station at 11:32 AM, reported rover parameters, and completed the standard 5-minute airlock decompression sequence, concluding the EVA.
