HSO Beginning Of Mission Checklist- January 8th

HSO BEGINNING OF MISSION CHECKLIST 2023-2024

Submitted by: Madelyn Hoying and Rebecca McCallin

Crew: 290

Date: 08 Jan 2024

Part 1: Using the attached Safety Equipment Inventory, locate, test and confirm operation of all safety equipment. List any equipment not found and/or missing: All components in order as listed in inventory.

Part 2: Locate and confirm the emergency escape routes in the Hab are functional and clear:

Stairs
Emergency window
Commander’s window
Confirmed

Part Three:

Inventory First Aid kit and note what needs to be refilled: All first aid kits (science dome, hab, EVA) have complete kits according to their inventory lists. We will notify if any supplies are used for replacement.

Note any safety issues: None

Note any health/environmental issues: None

Note any missing or recommended health and safety supplies: We would recommend including a saline syringe in the EVA kit, in case wounds need flushed out in the field. Additionally, inclusion of field sutures can benefit more extreme trauma events both in the field and in the facilities, given the distance to advanced medical care.

About The MDRS

The Mars Desert Research Station in the Utah desert was established by the Mars Society in 2001 to better educate researchers, students and the general public about how humans can survive on the Red Planet. It is the second Mars analogue habitat after the Flashline Mars Arctic Research Station was established in 2000.

Over 200 crews of six-person teams have lived in 1-2 week field visits at MDRS to simulate life on the Martian surface. Researchers and students alike have explored the Mars-like terrain in the area surrounding the station in full “spacesuits”, maintained the station’s systems, grown plants in the GreenHab to support themselves and even recycled their waste water.

Our activities at MDRS are not only about informing the public, but also conducting real research to bring humanity that much closer to the reality of human exploration on the planet Mars.

Annual field seasons at MDRS run approx. October through May. Anybody can apply to be on a crew, and we also need volunteers to help with the project.
