Summary Title: Kat’s Day Has Come
Mission Status: Steady and productive.
Sol Activity Summary: Today the crew’s rhythm was more casual than the usual two EVAs as we took Kat on her first easy EVA along with Commander and film makers, Elisa and Matteo after a morning of work on our various research projects on campus. Kat has had some medical issues and so we "tested" her on an easy, but beautiful drive most of the way to Brahe Highway since she was now feeling up to it. We stopped for Dave and Kat to practice piloting a drone while in EVA and the film makers were more than delighted to film us, drone and the intense Marian land scape. She had some pain about half way through when finishing the drone flights, but not enough in her opinion to return to base so she mostly rested in Opportunity. Tonight’s dinner is a much anticipated pizza.
Anomalies in Work: We still find headset #2 non-functional and so we put it aside.
Weather: Conditions were nearly ideal with 70F, light winds and some cloud cover.
Crew Physical Status: All crew members are generally in good condition. Some are experiencing mild symptoms such as sore throats and nasal congestion.
EVA: See above
