Purpose of EVA: Maintenance of atmospheric experiments West of Marble Ritual, then orienteering for photogrammetry experiment at East North Ridge
Start time: 10:00
End time: 11:15
Narrative:
The maintenance of the atmospheric instrument had been done a few times already so it did not cause any problems. Once that was done, the EVA crew took the direction of East Northridg. The Photogrametry team began observing the area and used the 2D map they had to orientate themselves. Once they were ready, they started searching for specific points located on the map, while Lou was following to check that they were not getting out of the race’s zone. After about 17 min, the race ended with 7/7 points located. The EVA team took a bit of time to take some pictures before going back to the base. This EVA was really efficient and fun as the landscape was really beautiful.
