EVA Report – March 4th

Crew #: 330

Position: Crew Engineer

Report prepared by: Lou GOIFFON

Date: 04-03-2026

Sol: 17

EVA #: 15

Purpose of EVA: Maintenance of atmospheric experiments West of Marble Ritual, then orienteering for photogrammetry experiment at East North Ridge

Start time: 10:00

End time: 11:15

Narrative:

The maintenance of the atmospheric instrument had been done a few times already so it did not cause any problems. Once that was done, the EVA crew took the direction of East Northridg. The Photogrametry team began observing the area and used the 2D map they had to orientate themselves. Once they were ready, they started searching for specific points located on the map, while Lou was following to check that they were not getting out of the race’s zone. After about 17 min, the race ended with 7/7 points located. The EVA team took a bit of time to take some pictures before going back to the base. This EVA was really efficient and fun as the landscape was really beautiful.

Destination per MDRS Map: West of Marble Ritual, East of North Ridge

EVA #: 16

Purpose of EVA : Orienteering for photogrammetry experiment at East North Ridge

Start time: 10 : 00 AM

End time: 12 : 00 AM

Narrative: When we arrived at North Ridge, we went to the starting point of the orienteering task. Félix and Julien then successfully found the 7 way points in 11 minutes. It’s better than the team with the 2D map. We had time to explore North Ridge and we decided to climb. We reached the top of it but we got back as some snow started to fall. We went back to the station without issues.

Purpose of EVA: Exploration of Special Region

Start time: 09:57

End time: 11:57

Narrative:

The maintenance of the atmospheric instrument had been done a few times already so it did not cause any problems. Once that was done, the EVA crew took the direction of the area called Special Region. We went towards the North, we had to stop a little bit before the gateway to Lith because our rovers were at 50% of their batteries. We continued by foot and we explored the area for about 1 hour. The EVA team took a bit of time to take some pictures before going back to the base. This EVA was really efficient and fun as the landscape was really beautiful.
