Sol Summary – February 25th

Crew 311 Sol Summary Report 25-02-2025

Sol: 9

Summary Title: Meddi, tell me a story!

Author’s name: Erin Pougheon, Crew Commander

Mission Status: Nominal

Sol Activity Summary: This morning, crew members started working on the mid-rotation video: music, images and editing. We work hard on it because we want it to be perfect for Sol 13! Meanwhile, sessions of other experiments such as HUMANISE, in which crew members must teleoperate a rover, took place. The 3D map and classical 2D map for the photogrammetry experiment are also ready to be used tomorrow and Friday for EVAs!

After a break, Crew started their activities again. Especially, Crew Scientist and Crew Journalist prepared their tomorrow’s EVA by taking notes with the 2D map to find checkpoints in Candor Chasma!

Look Ahead Plan: Sol 10 will be mainly centered on the EVA of photogrammetry for the 2D map team!

Anomalies in work: None

Weather: Cloudy, Temperature 60 F / 70 F

Crew Physical Status: Nominal

EVA: None

Reports to be filed: Sol Summary, EVA Request #06, Operations Report, GreenHab Report, Journalist Report, Crew Photos.

Support Requested: We would like to organize the mid-rotation resupply during on EVA, having the EVA Crew putting food left by a “cargo rover” in the airlock. Will it be possible to organize it on Sol13 (Saturday) as we plan to do an EVA this day ?

Crew 311 Astronomy Report 18Feb2025
Name: Quentin Berlemont
Crew: 311
Date: 02/20/2025
MDRS ROBOTIC OBSERVATORY
Robotic Telescope Used (choose one) MDRS-14 MDRS-WF RCOS-16
Objects to be Imaged this Evening:
Images submitted with this report:
Problems Encountered:
MUSK OBSERVATORY
Solar Features Observed: few sunspots
Images submitted with this report: 1
Problems Encountered: _I always have a brighter zone at the bottom right
of my sun images, as you can see on this image; which makes quite a mess
while processing, do you have advices on how to get rid of it?
_The tuners work with the camera but do nothing with the ocular, is it
normal?
_ I have found on the astronomy laptop tutorial videos on how to process
images made with the robotic observatory using ASI deep stack, are they
still relevant as Skynet uses Afterglow? Especially considering that
when I tested the robotic it didn’t produce bias flat dark light files.
You also mentionned on one of them that you used Registax to process the
Moon.
_Regarding Afterglow, should I try to make the best image possible on it
or do the bare minimum on it and switch rapidly to a Gimp processing
afterwards?

Journalist Report – February 20th

Crew 311 Journalist Report 20Feb2025
SOL 4: The wind blows in the sails of Crew 311
Author: Isolde Louzier-Ricalens

11:00 AM: The morning routine gets longer, and with it, the number of sensors we wear daily increases dramatically. This morning, for the first time, we put on all the sensors needed for the Orbital Architecture experiment. Its goal is to study the effect of architecture on our behaviors and performances. Until the end of the mission, we will wear a watch, a position and heart rate sensor.

This morning, Meddi and Quentin prepared their first EVA for stratigraphic geological studies in the “Martian” desert. In the long run, they hope to contribute to training an AI that will detect and map different rock layers in the desert using a drone—a revolutionary innovation that would make geologists’ life better! Meddi and Somaya also made videos for public outreach in the GreenHab to keep students from the “Seeds of Mars” project informed, as well as Moroccan students that Somaya visited. This year, we have conducted outreach projects in no less than a dozen schools! Among them are young people in Occitanie, Morocco, and the United States who benefited from our interventions. It is a great pride for us because it is through such interventions that some of our classmates were inspired to join ISAE-Supaero, and we hope to have ignited that spark in the youth we met.

On her part, Erin is doing much better! After working on debugging AMAIA with me during the morning, Robin and her are concurrently working on 3D printing storage for our numerous electronic devices.

4:48 PM: This afternoon, the wind is blowing so strongly that we fear damage to our tunnels between modules. The gusts seem to worsen the condition of the tarps at a hole that formed during previous missions.

The day ultimately lends itself well to working in the HAB, our main module. Crew members take advantage of this to install the last lamps for the LättaLL experiment. Designed to improve our well-being through light, these light sources change intensity according to the time of day, and we will study their impact on our crew compared to previous crews.

Sol Summary – February 23rd

Crew 311 Sol Summary Report 23-02-2025

Sol: 7

Summary Title:

Author’s name: Erin Pougheon, Crew Commander

Mission Status: Nominal

Sol Activity Summary: The day started later than the other day, allowing the Crew to rest. We had a larger sport session organized by our Crew HSO. After that, we deep cleaned the station. Every module and every area of them is now shiny!

We enjoyed a good gratin and used the afternoon to rest, with a lot of activities such as Lego building or crochet. Some crew members played cards, read books, …

This Sunday in the station was really peaceful and resting for everyone !

Look Ahead Plan: On Sol 8, Crew 311 will perform the first EVA of photogrammetry, a mapping technique with a drone to create 3D maps. Meanwhile, other crew members will continue to perform some assessments for other experiments and Crew Journalist will start to work on the mid-rotation video. The afternoon will be dedicated to the analyze of the data to create the photogrammetry 3D map.

Anomalies in work: None

Weather: Sunny and cloudy, Temperature 50 F / 60 F

Crew Physical Status: Nominal

EVA: None

Reports to be filed: Sol Summary, EVA Request #05, Operations Report, GreenHab Report, Astronomy Report, Journalist Report, Crew Photos.

Support Requested: We have a problem with mousses. We catch one every evening, around 8:00 PM, with the cage. We try to let them go around the observatory to they are far from the Hab but they come back every time (we think we have different ones, it is not always the same one). We even tried to release one at North Ridge during our last EVA but we still have some mousses that come in the Hab. We saw 2 in a room during the night … We don’t know what to do to deal with them and it starts to be stressful for some crew members that fear they can eat our food. We thought maybe we could give the cage to you (through the RAM) every time we catch one, but I don’t know if it would be useful because it seems like we have a lot. Or maybe you have some product to make them go away? Please let us know if you have any solution.
