Crew 194 Journalist Report
Sol 3
Our day started at 7 o’ clock to another amazing view. Sean and Doug prepped our crew with a preflight summary before the launch of their custom-built, 1:3 scale, MDRS Nike Smoke rocket. With our launch site scouted yesterday, we were vertical and go for launch by 1031.
A spectacular launch produced a peak altitude of over 5000 feet and a gentle descent up onto the plateau west of our launch site. Drone footage pending.
Afternoon lectures from Dr. Rick Cole over winter and water survival and his experiences as a NASA flight surgeon were intriguing. We ended the day with a successful two-team EVA to recover the rocket from the western plateau.

Summary Title
A Successful Rocket Launch!
Mission Status:
Good
Sol Activity Summary:
The majority of our day was spent preparing for successful launch of a high powered rocket. We obtained final clearance from the FAA earlier this week, and called in our NOTAM to clear the airspace. Last night and this morning, we performed final preparations on the rocket and then assembled the launch tower during EVA. We had a successful launch, which was incredible to see! We are planning to recover the rocket this evening after it cools down, and will see what the pictures look like.
Look Ahead Plan: We will continue our learning with discussion of ultrasound in spaceflight as well as genitourinary issues.
Anomalies in work:
None
Weather:Sunny, Very Warm
Crew Physical Status:Very happy after the launch this morning!
EVA: A successful launch!

Journalist Report – May 15th
Crew 194 Report
Sol 2
Later than usual start to the morning as most of us surprisingly and coincidentally slept well past sunup. Yesterday evening the crew successfully responded to a simulated medical emergency. With the crew safe and all dangers tended to, we had more energy than usual as the day came to a close. After reviewing the dangers, symptoms, and treatment of radiation exposure to space travelers, we set outside for our EVA. Coincidentally, solar radiation had the landscape and the EVA much warmer than yesterday. Returning from a very successful EVA, we sat down and learned celestial navigation. Enjoying the throwbacks to math, geometry, and using pencil and paper again, we found it pleasantly challenging. Having to say farewell to our instructor Dana, a space nerd with a personality the size of Olympic Mons, we excitedly welcome a new instructor, Rick Cole.
