Journalist Report – April 26th

Journalist report sol 6

We learned a lot about technology today—what it sees from its own eyes, and how it has evolved. An earlier EVA started at 8:30, in which our Engineer, HSO, and Journalist (aka the millennial EVA crew) went out to the sea of shells and surrounding areas. The Engineer wanted to test a makeshift tent to use his 3D scanner in the field—he constructed it out of a bedsheet and two sawhorses—and release the shells he’d collected earlier back into the wild. Our HSO wanted to try flying the drone out to the Monolith, largely to get better images and to better determine its location for mapping. She had two batteries, the first of which managed to get the drone temptingly close to the object of interest. To uncover more of its secrets, she tried a second flight on sport mode, having a better sense of the best trajectory. As the drone launched, however, the winds picked up. The little drone battled gusts and its power drained unpredictably fast. The weather proved too much despite our HSO’s careful piloting, and the device performed a forced landing in an anonymous spot some 600m from our perch, sending a lonely, black and white, probe-like image from its final gasps on the ground. Knowing that the winds might make it even harder to find the next day, the crew calmly tracked their bootprints all over the Martian soil in search. The HSO found the thing after about 15 minutes. (She is its mother after all.) The Journalist managed to get some lowtech footage of the Monolith on her cell phone, aimed through her binoculars, and the EVA finished with some compass readings off Galileo Road, which doubled as another test for the Engineer’s Starlink.

The wind halted any other EVAs. We sat around the table after an ad hoc lunch (tuna melts for some) and completed our sixth 100cameras module. Then our Commander unleashed his box of tricks: a collection of old electron tubes, early transistors, and integrated circuits, including ones he’s worked on, to show us how technology—and the relationship between analog and digital tools—has shifted over time, become smaller and more ornate, yet no less impressive. We’re now digesting our spaghetti, having watched an episode of Moonbase 8, hearing the wind rush over the hab’s roof vent and remind us of the hostile conditions outside.

Operations Report – April 26th

Crew 315 Operations Report 26-04-2025

SOL: 6

Name of person filing report: Michael Andrews

Non-nominal systems: Suit Charger #7, Catalytic Heater, ScienceDome Radio Charger

Notes on non-nominal systems:

· (Unresolved from yesterday) It was noted that Suit #7 wasn’t charging, but further diagnosis from the Commander has isolated the issue to the #7 charger. I was able to observe that all chargers appear to work, so more formal diagnoses are required. (Note: this one has been on here a while, but we don’t any issues with chargers anymore, so this is low priority to work.)

· (Bonus project) The catalytic heater near the exercise bike in the habitat does not work. It’s an engineering project to see if this can get properly started during this mission.

· (Unresolved from yesterday) The ScienceDome radio chargers do not work. Mission support mentioned how this is a known issue. Radios will be swapped between the two structures, and I will disassemble the charger tomorrow.

EVA Report – April 26th

Crew 315 EVA Report 26-04-2025

EVA # 11

Author: Michael Andrews

Purpose of EVA: We plan to accomplish several objectives on this morning’s EVA before high winds arrive in the afternoon:

· The Engineer will return shells collected from EVA #7 to the Sea of Shells.

· The Engineer will attempt to set up the en situ 3D shroud for future en situ scanning.

· The HSO will operate the drone at various destinations listed below in an attempt to photograph and measure the heading of the monolith from these destinations.

· The Engineer will take several analog compass readings of the Monolith’s location.

· The Journalist may take additional desiccated soils samples at one of the locations below.

Start time: 0840

End time: 1135

Narrative: The EVA crew departed MDRS at 0840 and took two Rovers to Sea of Shells. They stopped at the Red Peaks location that the HSO had seen on a previous EVA and took some photos. Next we traveled to the Sea of Shells to return the shell specimens from our 3D scanning project. After being there only a few minutes, we then proceeded to the Overlook for our remaining objectives.

We stopped about 0.5 kilometers north of Overlook and began to accomplish several objectives in parallel. Engineer Andrews set up Starlink and was able to assemble the 3D scanning shroud in 9 minutes, although it is susceptible to winds over 10 mph and may need weights to anchor it. He also took a manual compass heading of the Monolith’s location and captured the GPS coordinates of the rover location via smartphone. HSO Koi began her drone flight to document the Monolith.

This Overlook-adjacent spot was advantageous, as she was able to fly closer to the Monolith than before. On her first of three battery packs, she determined that reaching the Monolith would be possible with some modifications. However, on the second battery pack attempt, southerly winds provided too much drag against the drone, and it had to perform a forced landing approximately 0.6 kilometers north of our Overlook point. The team repositioned the rovers to the base of the Overlook and set out on a quick hike, spreading out and surveying the landscape for the downed drone. Fortunately, HSO Koi was able to locate the drone within 15 minutes and we returned to the rovers to proceed to our final destination.

The stop at Galileo Road was short: only taking 5 minutes to take a compass heading (which Journalist Saavedra-Buckley confirmed with a Starlink-connected smartphone) and GPS coordinates before returning to MDRS at approximately 1130.

Destination:

· Sea of Shells (and nearby Red Peaks area that HSO has taken photos of)

· Overlook

· Galileo Road (Monolith viewing location)

Coordinates (use UTM WSG 84):

· Sea of Shells: Easting: 516400, Northing: 4255250

· Overlook: Easting: 516000, Northing: 4254500

· Galileo Road: Easting: 519500, Northing: 4252200

Participants: Michael Andrews (EVA Lead and Crew Engineer), Urban Koi (HSO) and Elena Saavedra-Buckley (Crew Journalist)

Road(s) and routes per MDRS Map: Left MDRS and travel north along Cow Dung Road until Brahe Hwy. Took a left onto Brahe Hwy until the road ends, then took a right onto Copernicus Hwy. Proceeded along Copernicus Hwy until arriving at Sea of Shells. Once done at that location, headed back south along Copernicus until reaching the fork in the road to stop at Overlook. Once done at that location, traveled east along Brahe Hwy, then south along Cow Dung Road until reaching Galileo Road. Traveled east along Galileo Rd for 0.5 kilometers until reaching the final coordinate. Once done at that location, traveled west along Galileo Rd to Cow Dung Road, then south along Cow Dung Road until reaching MDRS.

Mode of travel: Rovers Perseverance and Curiosity were used to travel to the destinations above, and the EVA team will walk around each site on foot, never traveling more than 1 kilometer away from the rovers.

Journalist Report – April 27th

Journalist report sol 7

Each report brings more of the same nouns—rocks, drones, photos, bread, monolith—but even a day off of EVAs for the Journalist can’t prevent strange events from making their way into the report. An early EVA sent our Engineer and Commander out for another Monolith triangulation session with various compasses; beyond getting more information, they also found small Monolith-like rocks near their perch. Whether those were offerings, representations, or offspring, we’re not sure. Our Engineer went on a second EVA with our HSO in the afternoon. It was a journey in high winds during the traveling portions. The goal was to 3D scan some rocks and take photos, and once up at the Overlook things seemed to stagnate—no “new rocks,” per se, so no scanning—before becoming strange. A van of aliens parked some distance away eventually approached the crew, letting them know their back tire had been stuck in a hard-dirt divot. (This despite their rented van company being called "Escape Camper Vans.") They needed help; conveniently for simulation’s sake, the rovers weren’t enough to haul them out, so Mission Support was called and dispatched. Allegedly the van-life aliens are going to donate to the Mars Society out of gratitude for the haul—someone should keep an eye on this.

The crew Journalist finished some Terran work, set up her soil desiccation project’s lab stage, and prepared a dinner she admittedly was not confident would be good until it was complete: a simple congee with peas and corn, topped with soy-glazed Spam. (While she was worried Spam “Lite” would be inferior to regular Spam, she’s been pleasantly surprised at the dupe.) The HSO had also made our best loaf of bread yet with apples and spices.

After eating, the crew completed their sixth 100cameras module, which revealed more about the broad arcs of our lives. And, for the third day in a row since a kind but firm warning by our Commander, we’ve used a respectable amount of water and should be in the clear by the end of the mission, knock on wood.

We’re realizing that we need to start finishing projects, collecting results, executing final goals for dinners, and preparing to tear down the GreenHab.

Sol Summary – April 27th

Crew 315 Sol Summary Report 27-04-2025

Sol: 7

Summary Title: A Sol In The Life

Author’s name: Michael Andrews, Crew Engineer

Mission Status: Nominal

Sol Activity Summary:

The Phoenix team is now in the second half of their mission on Mars. I have to admit: I am quite excited that the Crew Engineer has been assigned to write the Sol Summary for Crew 315 only on sols that are prime numbers so far. And yes, I will be writing sol 11’s summary as well!

We awoke to egg cups for breakfast. I normally am not a fan of mushrooms (apologies to HSO Koi and Journalist Saavedra-Buckley who have fungi-focused research both on Earth and Mars) but Artist Gagnon found a way to prepare them in a way that even I enjoyed.

The first EVA involved Commander Laude and I taking the off-road path to Lith Canyon and climbing various ridges to get a good view of the Monolith for his project. I had never started watching
2001: A Space Odyssey” until last night after much cajoling from the crew, so I didn’t understand the significance of this object until recently. This additional compass heading would allow us to better triangulate its position and find the best location on our Martian map to approach the Monolith via HSO Kois’ drone. At the end of our EVA, we noticed that several small stone towers had been constructed along the tallest Lith Canyon ridge, which Commander Laude explained as being tributes to the main Monolith to enrich his story. Now I am a man of science and don’t believe in any of that, but I do want to claim credit for their name: Miniliths™.

After a short nap, I geared up for EVA #13 with HSO Koi. We aimed to go to Skyline View, a relatively far area from the MDRS station. It didn’t provide many interesting views or progress on scientific objectives, but it made up for it with an interesting story. The MDRS region is surrounded by public land and we often encounter other humans on Mars that we refer to as “aliens”. At Skyline View, we noticed a van parked in the vicinity and later realized it was stuck in the Martian regolith. The drivers approached us looking for help, and although I knew we didn’t have enough torque to extract them, HSO Koi communicated the issue to CapComm who leveraged Mission Support to help. If I was an alien stranded on Mars, I don’t know if I’d be more relieved to see Crew 315’s Health and Safety Officer and Crew Engineer for rescue.

After another 100camera module, we began reflecting on the day and writing reports. A recent topic of conversation has become our water consumption, as we were originally consuming more than 40 gallons of water per day. Commander Laude gave us some good tips to conserve water, and we have been making significant strides ever since. I, for one, am excited that the crew eagerly awaits figures from my Operations Report.

Speaking of eagerly awaiting, the crew is excited to watch the finale of “2001: A Space Odyssey”. Good night Earth!

Look Ahead Plan: The team will resume their normal rhythm of two EVAs a day, with all crew members participating in the EVAs. We are beginning to close in on the final objectives of our individual projects. GreenHab maintenance tasks are beginning to subside as we prepare the area for teardown. The crew has an impressive collection of delicious leftovers and is starting to determine which meals should be repeated before the end of sim.

Anomalies in work: No serious anomalies, but the Crew Engineer has a collection of small repair projects that don’t impact mission viability that will be addressed in the coming days. These are further detailed in today’s Operations Report.

Weather: Today was our windiest day yet! Temperatures ranged from 56 to 64 F, and skies were consistently cloudy. Winds were southwesterly at 17 mph, gusting up to 32 mph at times. Winds never violated EVA abort criteria, but they were constantly monitored throughout the day.

Crew Physical Status: All members healthy

EVA:

· EVA 12: Commander Laude and Engineer Andrews scaled the ridges at Lith Canyon to take additional compass readings of the Monolith. We also observed multiple mini Monoliths on the ridge that were erected by humans.

· EVA 13: Engineer Andrews and HSO Koi traveled to Skyline View to take rock samples and photos for the Crew Artist. At our EVA location we were approached by tourists in a van that had gotten stuck in the soft sand. We radio’ed Mission Support to intervene.

Reports to be filed: 2 EVA Requests, 2 EVA Reports, GreenHab Report, Operations Report, Journalist Report, Crew Photos

Support Requested: None

Journalist Report – April 12th

Journalist report for the 12 april 2025
Author: Batoul Tani

Today’s operations were marked by a successful EVA, carried out despite strong winds and slightly reduced visibility. The crew proceeded cautiously and managed to explore the region as planned. Additionally, the team used a geological hammer to investigate the terrain and search for potential fossil remains, adding a valuable scientific component to the excursion.
In the Science Dome, Batoul, our Crew Journalist, reached an important step in her microbiological work. Her first sets of bacterial cultures have now completed their treatment phase. She closely monitored the samples throughout the process and will obtain her first results tomorrow, which will help evaluate bacterial survival under simulated Martian conditions.
Bérengère, our GreenHab Officer, dedicated time to plant care and environmental control in the greenhouse. Despite the intense heat inside the GreenHab during the hottest part of the day, she was able to tend to the crops and ensure optimal conditions for plant growth.
For the rest of the crew, the day was relatively calm in terms of experimental activity, with most projects requiring only routine monitoring. Daily tasks were carried out as scheduled, ensuring continuity of data collection and system maintenance. We took advantage of the bad weather to shoot videos for our social media.
Sadly, as the sky was cloudy and the winds were too strong, we didn’t make any observations with the musk observatory.
Overall, the day unfolded smoothly, balancing field exploration and laboratory work, and setting the stage for new results in the coming days.

EVA Report – April 12th

Crew 314 EVA Report 12-04-2025
EVA # 8
Author: Bérengère Bastogne (Greenhab Officer)
Purpose of EVA: We will head to the Sea of Shells where we will conduct a drone exploration and use the hammer to search for fossils. On the return journey, we will also stop at the intersection of Galileo Road and Cow Dung Road to inspect Antoine’s equipment.
At those two stops, the crew will stay within 1 mile from the rovers.
Destination: The furthest point of the EVA will be the Sea of Shells. We will then head back at the MDRS to make a second stop at the intersection of Galileo and Cow Dung Road.
Start time: 9:30am
End time: 11:32am
Narrative:
Today’s EVA was carried out under hotter weather conditions compared to previous sols and some wind (around 15mph wind gusts). The crew departed the Hab at 09:44 with two rovers, heading toward the Sea Shells region to continue geological sampling.
At 09:52, the team passed Cowboy Corner and reached the intersection with Brahe Highway at approximately 10:00. At that point, the communication signal was extremely weak, and the team was unable to establish contact with CapCom.
By 10:10, the EVA team arrived at the Sea Shells site. Although the signal improved briefly, the area’s terrain quickly descended, resulting in another loss of signal. The team proceeded with their sampling task despite this challenge.
At 10:27, wind conditions were recorded: gusts reaching 16 mph with a steady wind of 4 mph coming from the west. The crew completed their work and began the return to the rovers at 10:56, but they were not able to fly the drone given the high winds.
They reached Brahe Highway again at 11:01, where communication was re-established. By 11:07, they returned to Cow Dung Road. A driver switch took place: Odile and Béa took over for the next leg of the journey.
The crew arrived at the site of Antoine’s experiment at 11:16 to perform a brief inspection. After a short stop, they returned to the rovers at 11:20 and switched drivers once again, this time Louis and Béa taking the wheel.
The EVA concluded with the rovers returning to the MDRS at 11:24. Decompression procedures were initiated immediately upon arrival and completed by 11:32.
This EVA allowed for critical fieldwork in multiple locations despite some signal challenges. The efficient management of time and logistics ensured the mission goals were achieved safely and effectively.
Destination: The furthest point of the EVA will be the Sea of Shells. We will then head back at the MDRS to make a second stop at the intersection of Galileo and Cow Dung Road.
Coordinates (use UTM WGS 84):
First stop : Sea of Shells (4255500N,516500W)
Second stop : Intersection Galileo Road and Cow Dung Road (4252250N, 519000W)
Participants: Antoine Dubois (Engineer), Béatrice Hollander (Commander), Odile Hilgers (HSO), Louis Baltus (Astronomer)
Road(s) and routes per MDRS Map: The EVA will begin on Moonwalk Road, then proceed along Cow Dung Road 0110. From there, we will follow Brahe Highway to the Overlook, and then take Copernicus 1575 Highway to reach the Sea of Shells. For the return trip to the MDRS, we will retrace the same route in reverse.
Mode of travel: Driving and walking
