The weather finally calmed down today therefore everyone was able to go out in EVA. Joanna, Antoine and Matias were up first, after a hefty bowl of oatmeal they made their way to sea of shells to continue Antoine’s experience. Being worried about the batteries of the rovers, they didn’t go all the way to Sea of Shells but they still got to appreciate some beautiful views along the way. Marie, Matthias and Zahraa used their morning to work on some homework and to set up their experiments.
Lunch was minestrone soup ‘à la martienne’ but before we could attack it, we had to do an emergency EVA to repair the pressurised tunnels that led to the RAM. The wind must’ve made it collapse. Matias and Antoine were there for the rescue, repairing the issues, this took quite some time as the job was much bigger than we initially thought. They first thought they could seal the hole but quickly found out that the tarp will have to be completely replaced. Lunch was eating quickly to get the second team ready for their afternoon EVA.
Marie, Matthias and Zahraa completed Antoine’s experience before heading to Sea of Shells. Quite a surreal site to see on Mars. They climbed multiple hills to take in the beautiful scenery from the highest point. The rest of the team back at the station, cleaned the Hab and passed the time by playing games. They also enjoyed an interview of the Artemis Crew who are currently in space.
When the Crew was reunited, we made the most of the time by writing the reports and planning the next few days. For dinner we are having chicken curry prepared by Zahraa and Matthias. Tonight will be an evening playing mime games and an early night to prepare for tomorrow’s big day.
