Author James Burk
Purpose of EVA:
1. Capture 360 and gimbaled camera footage of the MDRS and typical EVA
activities.
2. Test out new suits and get feedback.
3. EVA and Rover training of crew.
4. Daily engineering readings.
Destination: Pooh’s Corner
UDM27 Coordinates: 38.41 N, 110.78 W
Participants: Max Boyce (Lead), James Burk, Jim Ehrhart, Shannon Norrell.
Narrative:
All objectives achieved. Our 360 and gimballed footage is amazing.
Pooh’s Corner was the original destination, which was quickly achieved
in the first 15 mins of the EVA. We requested permission from Hab
Comm to requisition 2 rovers for a short drive south to Barainca
Butte. On the way, we were intercepted by the director who declined
permission for us to continue the EVA to Barainca Butte. We turned
around and returned to the Hab safely. We used rovers Opportunity and
Curiosity.
