Summary Title: Double Mission Day
Mission Status: All is well, we are now closer to the end than to the beginning.
Sol Activity Summary:
We woke up at 8:00 AM this morning and started the day with a bowl of cereal before the first team headed out for an EVA at 9:00 AM. Joanna, Zahraa, Matthias, and Marie were the first to depart, making their way to Cowboy Corner to carry out Joanna’s experiment. There, they performed a series of communication movements using the Tap Strap. Once the experiment was complete, the team took the opportunity to set up the tripod and camera for some group photos, with the stunning mountain visible in the distance providing a beautiful backdrop.
Back at the station, Antoine and Matias used the time to plan ahead, mapping out the upcoming EVAs to ensure all experiments can be completed before our departure. Upon the first team’s return, we prepared lunch together, making the most of our leftovers alongside a warm and comforting soup.
In the afternoon, it was the turn of Matias, Antoine, and Joanna, who headed out to the same location to conduct the same experiment. They also took advantage of the outing to capture some footage with the drone before making their way back to the MDRS.
In the meantime, Zahraa and Matthias took some well-deserved rest, while Marie hopped on the bike for a cycling session during CapCom. After everyone returned, the crew wound down together. Matthias tended to the GreenHab, and Matias took charge of dinner, treating the team to tuna burgers.
Look Ahead Plan:
Tomorrow, we have planned to carry out Matias and Antoine’s experiment at Green Mars View, split across two teams. The first team, made up of Matthias, Antoine, Zahraa, and Marie, will also take a small detour through Lyth Canyon to discover the area. The second team, consisting of Antoine, Matias, and Joanna, will head out after the experiment to explore the Special Region.
As for the rest of the day, we will be keeping to our usual routine: exercise, meals, rest, and a few rounds of cards.
