Purpose of EVA: An outing for Antoine’s research. The goal is to observe the landscape from an astronaut’s perspective and then capture video footage and photos with the drone.
Start time: 9:00 AM
End time: 10:56 AM
Narrative: The team prepared their equipment for the EVA at 8:30 AM, after confirming everything was working smoothly, the headset of comms kit #2 was not repaired. They departed at 9:00 AM after the decompression, they took Opportunity and Curiosity rovers. They arrive at Compass Rock with no further problem at 9:30AM to start with the research from Antoine. After accessing the terrain by walking to a higher view point where one of the crew members had a small fall, they walked a little further than the rovers to start answering Antoine’s questionnaire. The team realised that Antoine forgot to take one of the drone cables but this wasn’t much of an issue as he is planned to go out later today in the afternoon. They answered the first part of the questionnaire then returned to their rovers. They came back to the Hab without issue at 10:49am and put their rovers to charge. They started decompression at 10:51 am with no issues.
