EVA # 2
Author: Caitlyn Hubric, Elizabeth Balga
Purpose of EVA: Familiarization with spacesuits, communications system, and rovers
Start time: 1430
End time: 1530
Narrative: Attempted to fly our drone today, winds were too high, crash landed but in good condition. Will try again in future EVA. Scouted the area around Marble Ritual for plant life, found 5-6 different plants of interest to sample the dirt/substrate around the roots. Found the presence of an orange organism on the northside of rocks, which looked like a lichen, would like to return to scrape a small amount to look under the microscope.
