Crew 186 Sol 0 Summary Report 31DEC2017
Sol 0
Summary Title: Happy Arbitrary Orbital Maker!
Author’s name: Max Fagin
Mission Status: All crew members ready and eager to ring in the new Earth year on Mars.
Sol Activity Summary: Today’s non-sim sol began with the handoff from Crew 185 to 186. We swapped staterooms, car keys, and mission patches and bid each other farewell. We then completed two training sessions with Shannon on hab operations and EVA activities, and took a practice non-sim EVA.
We are planning to enter sim at 10AM tomorrow morning, after completing some crew portraits we were unable to complete today before sunset. Tonight, we will finish our mission summary, take one final trip into town for some last minute items, and celebrate the new year with a bonfire. All martians welcome (and their dogs)!
Look Ahead Plan: Complete crew portraits at sunrise tomorrow morning, enter sim, and take first geology EVA to Greenstone Rd. Continue unpacking equipment around the hab.
Anomalies in work: None
Weather: Partly cloudy, Temperature 1C, winds calm, Humidity 64%
Crew Physical Status: Healthy
EVA: All crew members took a non-sim EVA south of the Hab to practice driving and hiking in full gear. We practiced proper hill climbing/descending technique, and breath management to minimize fogging.
Reports to be filed: Sol Summary, Journalist Report, Greenhab Report, EVA Request
Support Requested: Awaiting a new template for the EVA report and EVA request.
Note: We have composed a shared document with all the report templates we have received in order to speed up report composition and minimize transmission errors. One consequence of this is that it will take a few transmission to make sure the templates have been copied correctly. If there are any errors in the report format (anything as small as missing line breaks), please let us know. We update the common document to reflect the changes.
