Change to crops:
Crops picked for cooking: 2g cilantro, 1g chives, 4g lettuce, 1g lemon balm, 35g icicle radish leaves, 3g acorn pumpkin, 1g rosemary.
OTHER NOTES:
Swept the floor because water was dripping from the shelves and it was stored/clogged in front of the table and blue tank. Next time, I should be more careful when watering
Moved two white bowls with snow pea plants into the floor, as they were drying out probably because of excess heat from the heater
Put some bricks/stones in front of the entrance (below the thermometer just outside of GreenHab), as the entrance was muddy and slippery, there were some risks of falling down
QUESTION: There are some empty tubs with soil, may I use them for harvesting tomorrow? For example: 9 Pepper tubs tags, 2 red tomatoes etc. Please advise. Thanks.

Sol: 6
Summary Title: Science day in Hab
Author’s name: Johannes Svensoy, MD.
Mission Status: Indoorsily Nominal
Sol Activity Summary: The day started with a joint briefing between the two Crews after MAU Crew came over to the MDRS Hab. Both Crews presented parts of the New Right Stuff book with further discussion around each crew member’s personal mission and how both Crews could support each other here on Mars. After lunch the rest of the day was set for medical training. After doing a trauma exercise with an ankle trauma, the whole Crew was trained in both first and secondary assessment based on the P-MARCH-P protocol. The Crew trained on trauma cases using the training briefed. The whole crew was trained on using the Golden Bubble pressurized medevac device and how to implement this into Medical EVA missions for future medical EVA drills. The Crew has also grown Kombucha in the Science lab, which after a few days of growing was tested and also analyzed for both bacterial growth.
Look Ahead Plan: On Sol 7 there is a planned change of Stations, meaning both Crews will change stations, a few of the crewmembers are going into a simulated quarantine.
Anomalies in work: None
Weather: Overcast, no precipitation. Average 0C, high 2C, low +3C, 10% chance of precipitation.
Crew Physical Status: Well, excited for the days ahead.

Title: A solset on MDRS, a solrise on MAU
Today was a different day – the MDRS and MAU crew rendezvoused at MAU station to focus on crew training, learning and growth. In the morning, the crews worked on personal growth exercises based on the book "The New Right Stuff" and went through the questions in the book. Next, after a team lunch, the medically trained personnel of the team took the rest of the crew through a medical simulation, followed by principles of medical triage in a trauma scenario, and practicing these drills. Next, one of the crew members demonstrated the use of their "Golden Bubble" device, designed to transport injured astronauts in a trauma scenario. The rest of the evening passed by with body-mapping artistic activities, training on a VR device, being briefed on communications in the field and a "Grand Rounds" academic presentation.
Every day on Mars brings its challenges, but plants do not blossom without rain. For this crew’s personal growth, life on Mars -is- the rain.
On a personal note, tomorrow myself and the XO move out to take command of MAU station. We are impressed with what the current crew has achieved, and knowing XO Svensoy and working with him as well as I do, we very much look forward to conducting MAU Operations as a team.
Till the Next Sol,
Commander Pandya

Title: Learning Medical Trauma Response and Demo New Invention
Author: Commander John Hanacek
Today was the start of crew medical training, learning protocol for first response trauma medicine. We drilled with a scenario of a crew member who hurt their leg. I found my training as a CA state parks beach lifeguard coming back to me, yet I was a little rusty! We are privileged here to have two three medical doctors, two who are experts in trauma medicine, one who works in hospital and one with deep field experience, and an ex special forces soldier to assist in training. I have been looking forward to this mission to grow my skills under the supervision of these professionals in this austere, isolated environment. Many members of the crew have no formal medical training and so this is a fascinating opportunity to test training of life-saving skills. If we are to thrive on Mars, we are required to have intimate knowledge of field medical skills. Plus, one crew member has brought in an invention, “The Golden Bubble,” a pressurized field medical system that is meant to enable the successful stabilization and transport of injured astronauts even if their pressure suits are compromised. We will be testing our skills and this unique technology on future medical EVAs. We are all looking forward to such a unique opportunity.
Tomorrow the MDRS and MAU crews will switch places. This is the next stage of the unique ‘station to station’ experiment going on here and will represent a fresh opportunity to see a new side of the Martian terrain and a new experience for all of us.

EVA Report – January 24th
Crew 220 EVA Report 24-01-2020
EVA # 1
Author: Johannes Svensoy, MD
Purpose of EVA: Medical EVA Trauma training
Start time: 0900
End time: 1200
Narrative:
PRE-EVA: The crew woke up eager for our first Medical EVA. The morning before EVA we set up to conduct some science related to crew health in the Science dome. This took more time than anticipated, but all EVA Crew were hydrated and fed before leaving for EVA. But the terrain here on Mars was muddy, as usual.
EVA:
During depressurization one crewmember, had communication problems, this was due to a loose connection and was resolved in the airlock during depressurization. The EVA crew walked over to MAU Station by foot and met up with the MAU EVA Crew. During the MAU briefing one of the crewmembers felt uncomfortable, and it was decided to return said crew member to the hab. Unfortunately, there were ongoing radio and comms problems after this, therefore the remaining crew docked at MDRS Hab for a debrief and testing of communication equipment. The aforementioned crewmember was assessed in Hab and found to feel better.
Destination: MAU Station, Medical EVA site 2 (12s518287,4250596)
Coordinates (use UTM NAD27 CONUS):
Participants: Hab Com: Skywalker. EVA Crew: Johannes, Marufa, Connie
Road(s) and routes per MDRS Map: Entrance road out to Cow Dung Road. Cow Dung Road South to MAU station.
Mode of travel: EVA Walk.
Support Requested: No support requested during EVA.
EVA # 2
Cancelled because of radio communication problems. Decided to rather debrief and go through radio communication protocols.
