Sol Activity Summary:

We arrived on Mars midnight and awoke to views of Mars out the portals. Fantastic views! Charlotte made pancakes for breakfast. Who doesn’t like them? EVAs 1 and 2 took place in the morning to Pebble Ritual as in normal practice. One of us was not feeling up to it and didn’t EVA. Afternoon the film makers and commander headed to Green Mars Overlook, however once reaching the Brahe Highway intersection rover Perseverance battery was at 50% with significant distance remaining ahead and so we turned back. However, we made full use of 3 hours with much filming along the way. Another crew member is now also not feeling well now with sore throat. Our HSO monitors both.
