Daily Water Usage of Crops:

Water in Blue Tank (lbs):
67%
Times of Watering for Crops:

Changes to crops:
NONE
Narrative:
The high measurement was still 50 today, but since I wasn’t at the
greenhab at the highest time in the day.
Harvest:
1.6 g of Sage
95.8 g Sunflower Sprouts
37.8 g Mixed Salad Greens
4.4 g Cilantro
6.4 g Water Cress
Support/Supplies Needed:
Was there suppose to be a weight in the GreenHab? If so, I cannot find
it and have to go to the Science Dome to get the mass of the harvest.
GreenHab is a great place to work, it has alot of potential. With
added sensors and automated suns shades, the Hab GreenHab can become
closer to the type of system we’d want on Mars!

Summary Title: Driving to the moons and cleaning the habitat
Author’s name: Lindsay Rutter
Mission Status: Simulation ended at 1:00PM today. All crew members
happy and healthy.
Sol Activity Summary: We spent much of the morning finishing our
reports about this week. Each day, we have been documenting our
observations of the dynamics of a 3 member crew. Today, we summarized
it over a decadent dessert. One crew member made cinnamon chocolate
cake by modifying “Kyle’s Carrot Cake”, a recipe in the habitat
cookbook “Mars Home Cooking: Recipes from the Mars Desert Research
Station”. After we discontinued our simulation as planned, we drove
two rovers to an array of “moons” north of the habitat. White Moon.
Beige Moon. Yellow Moon. Gray Moon.
Look Ahead Plan: Tonight and tomorrow, we will be thoroughly cleaning
the habitat and its surrounding buildings. Tomorrow, we will also
drive to Hanksville to pick up the next crew and drive them to MDRS.
We will introduce the MDRS to them and have discussions with them
about the rules and expectations of conducting missions here.
Anomalies in work: None reported
Weather: Snow melting; chilly with moderate cloud coverage.
Crew Physical Status: No crew members reported physical problems today.
