Author’s name: David Mateus
Mission Status: Nominal
Sol Activity Summary: The crew started their day bright and early at 8 a.m., filled with enthusiasm for their first Extravehicular Activity (EVA). Throughout the morning, they meticulously finalized the planning for the EVA, ensuring every detail was in place.
By 10:30 a.m., preparations were underway as the first team began donning their spacesuits. They successfully embarked on their EVA mission by 11:05 a.m. This team was tasked with collecting soil samples and piloting a drone for remote exploration of Candor Chasma. The objective was to gather preliminary data for an upcoming EVA to this intriguing location. Their mission was completed efficiently, and they returned by 12:15 p.m.
Following a brief respite, the second team embarked on their EVA at 1:30 p.m. Their objectives included piloting the drone, collecting more soil samples, and, notably, installing a vibration sensor kit on the generator to ensure its smooth operation. They wrapped up their tasks and returned to Hab at 2:56 p.m.
In the afternoon, following the conclusion of the EVAs, the crew gathered for a comprehensive debriefing session. This meeting was crucial to critically analyze the day’s events, pinpoint any errors or oversights, and derive actionable insights to enhance the efficiency and safety of future Extravehicular Activities.
As the day ended, in a delightful twist, the crew decided to celebrate the spirit of Halloween. They organized a party, allowing them a moment of relaxation and bonding amidst their rigorous duties. You can look forward to catching a glimpse of this celebration, as we’re excited to share photos from the event tomorrow.
