In this morning, we did an additional EVA for Japanese TV broadcasting.
Meanwhile, the rest of crew worked hard with clean up and packing our staff (aibo too!) for check out the HAB. And also, we are pleased to announce that: We finally cleaned the loft tank. That is, the water tank problem in HAB has solved completely!
Before we took the things in HAB over to the following crew 192, we went on a small trip on the Hab Ridge. How amazing the landscape is.
Now we felt great satisfaction with coming here MDRS. Thank you Mission Support Team again!

Today was the day, we have finished our simulation on Mars!
In the morning the last EVA was done with all officers and the youngest member of us Kai Takeda took on the role of HabCom. Actually, the EVA was as a “reward” for the officers from our commander. So we went a bit far away from the HAB and took many pleasant photos there!
As soon as the EVA finished, we had a closing ceremony of our SIM, also with our non-human crews. They were always a big relief for us.
Last of all, thank you so much Mission Support Team! We owe our achievement entirely to your kind support.

It’s been a long and busy day.
In the morning, the EVA team did 3D survey of the HAB by a Drone Camera. It was for Wataru’s project and he succeeded it although it was a bit windy.
Then we had lunch with fresh vegetable in the GreenHab for the project of Kai. He planned letting us spend the day as the “Plants Day”. That is, we do what usually just only the GreenHab officer do: harvest, sowing, watering and eating etc. So we were surrounded by greenery today! So Kai did also greenery EVA in this afternoon. He took the team to the place where they could find some plants and let them observe and draw it. His interest is how will plants influence people especially in such a closed life.
Meanwhile, we worked hard again to clean the black water tank. We hope you can see the result: now ready to fill with the clean water!

Hi CapCom,

Best,

In EVA #12, Venzha did the third time recording for his CEMs project and it was the last. Every time he set the antenna in different shapes and got naturally various sounds from outer space. Every crew members are now looking forward to listening his results.
We also made an effort to solve the water problem as much as yesterday: clean up of the contaminated water tanks in RAM.
As a result: the white tank and the small tank in Hab car are now “clean” enough to bring us the safe water from the earth! However, it remains the case that we also have to clean the black and the loft tank (maybe tomorrow or after the end of our SIM?).
