Sol Summary – January 13th
Crew 219 Sol Summary Report 13-01-2020 Sol: 8 Summary Title: Oh, Mondays... Author's name: Dave Masaitis Mission Status: Nominal Sol Activity Summary: The crew was woken abruptly around 0600 to a generator failure and low power, and immediately responded according to guidance from Outpost. We then boiled water on the stove for coffee, and got started with the days work. Some worked on science while others transplanted plants in the GreenHab. H. Blackburn made a lunch of chili and rice before EVA #13 pushed out towards Beige Moon, and those left behind continued their tasks. EVA #13 collected their samples, but suffered an H&S-related incident (see HSO report) forcing their return by 1508. K. Crisman resolved the situation swiftly, decisively, and admirably. With the whole crew back at nominal status, A. Elnajdi and R. Raphael prepared an incredible dinner for the crew while everyone finished and proofread reports for this evening’s Comms window. Look Ahead Plan: One EVA, continued sample analysis, and maintenance as necessary Anomalies in work: Generator Failure Weather: Early morning fog, cold and sunny all day Crew Physical Status: Nominal at present (See HSO Report) EVA: EVA #13 – Geologic Sample Collection around Beige Moon (0516000/4254300) Reports to be filed: Sol Summary EVA Report #13 EVA Request #14 HSO Report Operations Report GreenHab Report Research Report Journalist's Report Photos (Including Photo of the Day) Support Requested: -Quart-sized ziploc bags -Medical tape -Refer to Operations Report for maintenance-related request
EVA Report – January 13th
Crew 219 EVA Report 13 JAN 2020 EVA#: 13 Author: Nathan Hadland Purpose of EVA: The primary purpose of this EVA was sampling for our geology project. Post-EVA, we collected data for our biometrics project. Start time: 1313 hrs End time: 1513 hrs Narrative: At 1313 hours, EVA #13 initiated a 5-minute decompression and moved to Curiosity and Spirit. After reporting SOC and hours, we progressed north along Cow Dung Road until we reached Brahe Hwy. We moved west on foot through White Moon. After taking 5 regolith samples, the crew then continued west to Beige Moon. The crew then took 5 additional samples and then turned around and headed east back to the rovers. Curiosity and Spirit arrived back at the Hab at 1508 hours. There was a health and safety incident at the end of the EVA; refer to the HSO report for more details. Destination: Beige Moon Coordinates: 0516000/4254300 Participants: Nathan Hadland (XO), Alejandro Perez (ENG), Robinson Raphael (ASTRO), Abdul Elnagdi (GEO) Roads and routes per MDRS Map: North on Cow Dung Road (0110) parking at the intersection of Brahe Hwy (1575) and walking west through White Moon and Beige Moon along Brahe Hwy.

Crew 219 Science Report 13-JAN-20 Crew Science Officer: Hannah Blackburn 1. Biometrics and Neurobehavioral Research We continued taking sleep logs and post-EVA biometrics and surveys. 2. UAV Nothing to report. 3. Dust Mitigation for Optical Mirrors Cleaned the optical mount using air pump. 4. Astrophotography of Celestial Bodies False color image of the Crab Nebula will be attached with the next Astronomy Report. 5. Remediation of Mars Regolith Samples observed under microscope. 6. Chemical and Mineralogical Composition of the MDRS Site Samples were dried in the oven using glass beakers. Additional samples collected during EVA 13. 7. Protocols for the Discovery of Life on Mars Nothing to report. Glassware check out: 10 glass beakers (sizes between 200 and 500 ml) were used to dry regolith samples. A reminder to all crewmembers: There's a $300 fine for using any glassware material without MDRS Mission support permission.
Journalist Report – January 13th
Crew 219 JOURNALIST REPORT 13JAN2020 AUTHOR: Cynthia Montanez SOL 8 AVANTGARDE As darkness began to fade this morning, a distant sound awakens Crew 219. Confused as to what the sound was, the HSO (Keith Crisman) found the nearest radio and asked “Say again?” With a reply from Outpost stating the low SOC percentage, Crew 219 finds themselves in safety mode. While in safety mode, each crew member unplugged all their devices and appliances within the station to conserve the remaining energy. At 10:00 A.M., LSO (Hannah Blackburn) and I decided to make the best out of this situation by having a Martian Spa Day. After an hour of detangling my curly hair, the LSO and I set up a mini station by the airlock for their spa. The spa consisted of a detangling brush, Head and Shoulder shampoo and conditioner, towel, and a dish bin filled with warm water. It was an experience we both enjoyed. Not to mention, the results that came from our Martian Spa was beautiful clean hair. By about 11 am, Crew 219 was able to turn on their lights. With everyone celebrating, I decided to head to the GreenHab for my first temperature reading of the day and a quick watering. While watering, the CO (Dave Masaitis) entered and assisted by transplanting some aloe vera succulents and cucumbers. We spent time in the GreenHab conversing about planting methods, future plans, etc. It was a brief discussion, but it was one that brought us closer together. As the rest of the day played out, while part of the crew was out on EVA, the rest of crew 219 found ways to keep themselves busy by either cooking, reading a good book, working in the lab, or conversing with one another. Overall, today was a good day on white Mars.
