Crew 310 EVA Report 08-02-20205
EVA #10
Author: Anna Bach
Purpose of EVA: The purpose of the EVA was to finalise the macro piece of art right before the satellite passed at 11:30 AM. We also wanted to record it with a drone from above.
Start time: 7:40AM
End time: 11:55AM
Narrative: We arrived early in the morning to the location we were planning to unfold the macro piece of art. In the previous days we had set up the references so that the unfolding was straightforward. Fortunately, there was no wind at all, and we could unfold the fabric without a problem. By 10:00AM everything was ready for the 1st satellite pass, at 10:08AM. The next satellite pass was set at 11:30AM. Between 10 and 11:30, Mònica flew the drone above the piece of art and recorded it. Marta also recorded many parts of the process. At 11:30AM there was still no wind, so the piece of art stayed still without incident. At 11:40 we started packing and came back to the base.
