Crew 206 March 14th 2019
Sol 18
Summary Title : Spring cleaning
Author : Jeremy Auclair
Mission Status : All nominal
Sol Activity Summary : This night it was a little bit colder in the Hab,
we all slept much better. The day started beautifully, but unfortunately
during our morning workout one of the crew members pulled a few muscles
on his/her back. It hurt pretty bad but it’s nothing serious. He/her
therefore couldn’t go on EVA, so I took the leadership of this EVA.
After changing the LOAC battery we took the rovers to go to galileo
road. Once there we continued driving a little until we saw the plain
and the river bank ahead of us. At this point we started walking. It was
a beautifull hike, the scenery was out of this world, we walked to the
begining of Candor Chasma. At this point we decided to head back to the
rovers in case one of us started to feel to tired. We ended the EVA at
11:20 am without any issue. After a nice lunch, we started cleaning the
whole Hab, for more than an hour. We will continue tomorrw and saturday.
Before the VR experiment we also filmed some short videos for french
middle school students, as part of our association’s science
popularization for underpriviledge children.

last experiments and finishing cleaning and tidying up the Hab.
