Crew 310 EVA Report 06-02-2025
EVA # 08
Author: Estel Blay
Purpose of EVA: The goal of this EVA is to create a large-scale art piece, which will be captured by two different satellites on the morning of February 8th.
Start time: 1:30pm
End time: 4:15pm
Narrative: The crew depressurized through the main entrance to the Hab. They also used the RAM to extract some of the materials needed for the deployment of the art piece. The crew utilized two rovers to travel to the Kissing Camel Ridge area, which was scouted during the morning EVA. Due to high winds, it was not possible to deploy the large-scale art piece in a single EVA. Following the morning scouting exercise and considering the challenges encountered during EVA #1 in creating the large-scale art piece, the crew decided not to proceed with extending the fabric of the art piece, as recommended by mission control. The crew instead focused on understanding the structural concept of the large-scale art piece and will finalize the work on the same day that the satellites overfly the area.
