EVA #1
Author: Eléonore Lieffrig
Purpose of EVA: Exploration and collection of soil samples
Start time: 4:30 pm
End time: 6:00 pm
Narrative:
We have had our first EVA this afternoon which lasted for two hours. We travelled to the hills on the left of the Cow Dung Road between the Robert’S Rock Garden and Zurbin’s head to take a few soil samples to be used by Chloé, the GreenHab officer, for one of her two experiments. The EVA went very well and the sunny weather allowed us to take some beautiful pictures of the Martian environment surrounding the MDRS.
