Crew 202 EVA Report 31-DEC-2018
EVA #1
Author: Ellen Czaplinski
Purpose of EVA: To familiarize the crew with the flight suits, rovers, and COMMS
Start time: 3:36 pm
End time: 4:23 pm
Narrative: Crew 202’s very first EVA on Mars was to the Marble Ritual,
an area within view of the Hab with some ancient marble structures at
the entrance. We did the dance ritual at the marbles, which consisted
of the YMCA, the MARS, and flossing. However, the EVA suits restricted
movement quite a bit. A light dusting of snow was falling throughout
the duration of the EVA. We investigated the clays and interesting
rocks in the area, although difficult with all the fresh snow on the
ground. After riding the ATVs and walking around with the EVA suits
on, we noticed a few areas on the suits that needed to be adjusted, so
we will look into that tomorrow.
