Sol Activity Summary:
The crew woke up at 07:00. At 08:00 we had cereal for breakfast and a quick stretching session before EVA prep at 09:00. EVA 06 to Skyline Rim was scheduled for 09:30 so that the EVA team could make it in time to catch low winds for DRONE flights, as higher winds were expected in the afternoon. Elizabeth led Rod and Ryan on the EVA Team. While Jesus and Keegan ran coms. The EVA team had time to perform five flights in the Amazonis Planitia. Elizabeth collected EMF of the area and collected two soil samples from the base of HAB ridge for Jesus to analyze at the HAB. The EVA team made it back to HAB at 13:00. For lunch, the HAB team made a mac-and-cheese casserole with a side of crispy potatoes. The crew then split off for research and work tasks. Adriana harvested some over-ripe arugula and herbs to make a pesto. Ryan worked on getting everyone through VR test. Jesus worked on processing samples collected on EVA 5 and EVA 6 in the science dome. The crew took showers throughout the day and is now happy and clean.
