Start time: 10:30
End time: 11:56
Narrative: The crew walked to the Hab Rim. They collected seashell fossils to bring home as souvenirs to family and friends. They walked to a site where the Hab was visible. Here, they took in the view and appreciated their surroundings. They took in this moment as the final EVA mission and their final time on Mars. They took photos to capture the moment and celebrate their experience. They then walked back to the Hab.

Purpose of EVA: Gathering geologic samples for research (creating bricks from geologic samples), specifically concretions from area on the hab ridge
Start time: 1000
End time: 1300
Narrative: Walked the correct route and reached about the same coordinates as given in request, but concretion site could not be seen from the road or located when the team went off road. The team was running low on time, so alternative geological samples were taken. The team, after the samples were taken, went back to the hab, the same way they ascended the ridge.

EVA #: 1

Purpose of EVA: Training

Sol time: 1300
End time: 1400

Narrative:

The EVA 1 crew initiated operations with successful donning and doffing procedures for the analog suits, followed by standard pre-EVA checks and communication tests. Airlock depressurization was nominal, and all COMS were confirmed functional prior to egress.

Shortly after departure, the EVA team received a partial abort directive from Mission Support Center. In response, Commander Rym and Crew Engineer Ricardo executed an immediate safety and route reassessment, returning to RAM Station to adjust mission plan.

Following the directive, the crew transferred from two rovers to one, with Commander Rym parking Rover Curiosity and joining Crew Engineer Ricardo aboard Rover Perseverance. The crew ensured all vehicles were powered down and secured prior to consolidation.

After confirming mission parameters and receiving clearance from CapCom, EVA 1 proceeded nominally. The Perseverance rover departed RAM Station and navigated toward Marble Ritual, while maintaining full communication link with HabCom. Upon arrival, the EVA Crew parked the rover, confirmed vehicle stability, and explored on foot the Marble Ritual site.

The Crew Engineer Ricardo and Commander Rym then conducted short-distance traverses on stable terrain to assess suit mobility, visibility, and communication performance under field conditions. Environmental awareness was maintained at all times, with situational monitoring for non-simulation external activity. It was very windy!

Upon completion of surface exploration, the crew returned to Rover Perseverance and conducted a nominal return transit to MDRS Station. Airlock repressurization and post EVA safety checks were completed successfully, with all systems and personnel confirmed safe and in good condition.
