Crew 310 EVA Report 04-02-2025
EVA # 4
Author: Anna Bach
Purpose of EVA: Installing and fixing the Corner Reflector structure on the concrete patch.
Start time: 14:27
End time: 16:46
Narrative: We exited the base from the RAM and walked slowly uphill to the concrete patch. We left the RAM with the door almost closed but not locked so we could access it if we needed tools later on. We were carrying the reflector split in two big pieces and the truck full of tools and screws. After reaching the place, we joined together the two big pieces using screws. The reflector was then ready to be fixed to the floor. Anna went down to grab a hammer in the RAM and plug the drill. Then, Mònica and Helena started drilling. Meanwhile Marta was recording it all. After making the holes, Mònica and Helena screwed the reflector to the floor. Time was almost up so we collected our tools and came back to the base. Before entering the RAM, Helena and Anna went to the solar panels to take a picture of Estel’s panels. Mònica and Marta waited in front of the RAM. Then the four of us entered the RAM. Overall, the EVA was a success and the reflector will likely be finished in the next EVA.
