Sol Activity Summary:
Today was a great day, with every experiment going great. We got up a bit later than usual in the morning instead of having our usual physical activity session, to rest our bodies a bit. The orienteering EVA for the second session of the Photogrammetry experiment was a success, and we gathered interesting data. In the station, we made progress again with everything else. The mid-mission video is finalized and should be published on our social medias shortly. The Geol’Ex instrument is getting calibrated to continue the Lab’Ex experiment, and our human factors ones continue to gather data steadily. The atmospheric experiments survived the strong winds of the past few days as well. The crew feel both efficient and relaxed in the station.

Look Ahead Plan:
We are looking to keep working on the Photogrammetry and Stratigraphy experiments with two more EVAs in the week, and we keep on conducting all experiments in the station.
