Sol Summary – March 27th

Crew 207 Sol Summary Report 27-MAR-2019

Sol: 11

Summary Title: Self-Replicating Replicators

Author’s name: Julielynn Wong

Mission Status: Nominal

Sol Activity Summary:

Crew 207 completed their data collection for the bike-powered 3D printing study. Today we used our bike-charged battery to successfully 3D print a tongue depressor out of food-safe, biodegradable plastic and a replacement printer LCD knob out of PETG. Results are now being compiled for remote analysis and manuscript preparation.

Crew 207 continued 3D printing in the Hab today for our thoracentesis training study.

The following items were identified as useful to 3D print at MDRS:

Filament disposal box

COM continues to fulfill GHO duties. XO continues to fulfill ENG duties.

COM will revise activity schedule for Crew 208 based on timelines observed with Crew 207.

Look Ahead Plan: Continue 3D printing in Hab. Will rehearse additional drone controller flight testing for Crew 208. Plan to visit Hanksville tomorrow (Sol 0 for Crew 208) to gather materials in preparation for arrival of Crew 208.

Anomalies in work: None

Weather: Sunny with high winds
