Summary Title: A geographical experiment for the crew.
Mission Status: a good day
Sol Activity Summary:
Today we woke up at 7:00 AM. We took the time to make pancakes before the first EVA. Departure at 9:00 AM for the EVA with Antoine, Matthias and Joanna. They headed to Compass Rock to carry out Antoine’s experiment. The team had to observe the area with their own eyes to assess which paths were passable or not, and then do the same using the drone’s view. Unfortunately, there was a cable issue with the drone.
For the second EVA, there was a door issue that opened to the outside. The crew turned back but otherwise everything went well. The rest of the crew took care of the GreenHab, harvesting tomatoes, beetroot, fennel and basil, as well as working on their reports.
We ended the day with a team meeting.
Look Ahead Plan:
For tomorrow, the plan is to finish Antoine’s experiment with the morning EVA, and in the afternoon we will conduct Joanna’s first experiment in the science dome. The objective is to perform the first movements with the Tap Strap. For the remaining crew members, we will continue working on our experiments, exercise, cook and also get some rest. We will also need to plan the meal menu for the following sols. We would also like to watch the Artemis 2 rocket launch live at 4:24 PM.
Anomalies in work:
Matias ran a diagnosis for the COM kit 2 but didn’t fix it.
Weather:
The weather was good, the temperature was pleasant but there was a lot of wind which was more of a nuisance during the EVA as well as for the noise inside the station.
Crew Physical Status:
One crew member has knee pain, another’s rib is feeling better and a third has slightly elevated blood pressure. Overall the team is doing well.
EVA:
The first EVA went well but unfortunately due to a cable issue the drone did not take off.
The second EVA went very well. We had an unexpected situation: the door was not properly closed and the locks came open. We therefore had to turn back to close the door before continuing the experiment. The drone did take off but the wind was very strong so we had to limit the flight.
