Sol Summary – March 3rd

Report title: Sol Summary Report

Crew #: 330

Position: Crew Commander

Report prepared by: Gaspard THIEULIN

Date: 03/03/2026

Sol: 16

Summary Title: Calm day on Mars

Mission Status: The routine is there, everything flows smoothly

Sol Activity Summary:
As we are leaving the mid-point of our mission behind us, we feel more than ever like we have been on Mars for a very long time. While we are still in great shape and eager to continue to get great results during the mission, the days are starting to look very similar each morning. We are encountering less and less issues in the station, and the atmosphere feels calmer now, everyone found their rhythm and accomplishes their tasks with ease. We did Yoga in the morning, activating our bodies and resting our mind at the same time.
We had a small worry about a gas leak today in the Hab, but after checking with the station’s sensors, it seems to have been a false alarm, only the smelling product is leaking in the lower Hab from time to time.
Today’s EVA got farther than we ever did during this mission, discovering once again new landscapes to wonder about.
The whole crew keeps working on our mid-mission video in parallel to our usual other activities.

Look Ahead Plan:
We are looking to keep working on the Photogrammetry and Stratigraphy experiments with more EVAs in the week, and we keep on conducting all experiments in the station.

Anomalies in work:
– Small leak on the feeding tube for the toilet’s flush (see yesterday’s Operations Report)

Weather: Sunny

Crew Physical Status: Physically fit and well

EVA:
– EVA 14 Conducted with success
– EVA 15 to be planned for the maintenance of the atmospheric experiments and the Photogrammetry experiment

Reports to be filed:
– EVA 14 Report
– Journalist Report
– Greenhab report
– Operations report
– Astronomy report

Support Requested: None

Journalist Report – March 2nd

Report title: Journalist Report

Crew #: 330

Position: Journalist

Report prepared by: Adrien Saugnac

Date: (02-03-2026)

Sol: 15

Journalist Report Title (if applicable) : The sun is rising on Mars

Alone on the red planet, we feel the effects of confinement. It is important to spend time together and enjoy every moment. Even a simple sunrise is a source of comfort and reassurance. We are becoming more and more aware that we are in a new world.
Our mission support has provided us with food rations for the second part of our adventure, and we had pasta with bolognaise sauce, Parmesan cheese, and basil from Félix. Just enough to end a full day well.

All morning, we went with Lou, Célia, and Félix on an EVA to North Ridge to map the area in 3D and prepare for this week’s orienteering race. On Wednesday, a first team will use a 2D support to find 7 beacons that we have hidden. We will compare their performance with that of another team that will have a 3D map. Célia and Félix started the stratigraphy experiment. They were able to draw the profile of a geological strat. They then collected samples to observe them at the Geol’Ex. It is a spectroscope that will allow us to study the composition of rocks by reflectance. Adèle did CapCom and supported the EVA from the station.

This afternoon, Lou made 3D prints for the last pieces of the SupaeroMoon rover. She created the map of North Ridge and answered with Julien and Félix questions from students of the euro section of the lycée de la Mer. Scientific mediation is an important part of our mission.

Gaspard organized small mid-mission sessions to ask us where we are and what we expect for the next two weeks.

Célia and Félix continued the Geol’Ex experiment at the Science Dom where Julien also organized sessions of NeuroErgonomie.

With Adèle, we continued the editing of the mid-mission video all afternoon.
Tomorrow morning, we will explore even further Mars!
