Summary Title: Exploring different corner of the Map
Mission Status: Tiredness is setting in, but the team is determined to enjoy every remaining moment to the fullest
Sol Activity Summary:
We woke up at 8:00 AM as usual and kicked off the day with pancakes before the first EVA departed for Green Mars View, with Antoine, Joanna, and Matias. The team was charmed by the lush greenery of the area, it truly lives up to its name. All experiments went smoothly, and after wrapping up, the team made their way over to Special Region to explore the area and test the radio there as well. It was the last time the crew would venture to that side of the map.
Back at the hab, the rest of the crew kept busy, sorting through drone footage, preparing samosas, and re-securing the bolts holding the exterior corridor panels in place. Lunch was a warm and satisfying affair, with soup and freshly made samosas.
The afternoon began with a well-deserved rest period while the rovers charged up. The crew also took the opportunity to film short videos explaining their experiments for our social media channels.
At 4:00 PM, Joanna, Matthias, Antoine, and Marie headed out for Antoine’s experiment at Candor Chasma. Finding yourself surrounded by towering canyons is a humbling experience, you truly feel small in the face of such vast and dramatic landscapes.
Meanwhile, Zahraa prepared hamburgers for dinner and took the time to read through articles relevant to her experiment, while Matias worked on processing his observatory photographs.
Look Ahead Plan:
Tomorrow marks our final EVA for Joanna’s experiment. We will head out in two teams to Kissing Camel Ridge, bringing along the heavy equipment. We will also begin packing our bags as we prepare for departure. These are our last moments here…
Anomalies in work:
The salad fallen victim to our Martian monster, and the zip ties struggling to keep the tarps in place, aside from that, all is well.
Weather:
It was quite warm today with little airflow, though no rain or humidity to speak of.
Crew Physical Status:
The whole crew is doing well.
EVA:
Both EVAs went smoothly despite the heat. Nothing further to add beyond what has already been covered.
