¡El que persevera, alcanza!
Sol 3
La noche terminó con los sentimientos al máximo, el agotamiento nos arropaba aunque la satisfacción de lo conseguido nos hacía vibrar de felicidad, ¡las risas nos hacen hasta llorar!
¡Amaneció tranquilo…, el amanecer aquí es tan bonito!
9:30 am Desayunamos y empezamos a poner en marcha cada uno de los trabajos planificados para hoy.
La limpieza general en el Hab entre todos, Andrés acabando el inventario de los alimentos (nos tiene las galguerías, golosinas, dulces, chucherías… bien restringidas), Luis concentrado y obteniendo imágenes inimaginables del cielo diariamente, Andrea se prepara para iniciar las mezclas y obtener el almidón en el ScienceDome, Tomás con los receptores gps…
La mañana pasa muy rápido, tan concentrados…
14:30 pm Tom y Marina cocinaron a dúo el almuerzo para la tripulación, hoy tenemos brócoli con boniato y zanahoria acompañado de puré de patatas. Y el momento sobremesa nos recompone el alma.
17 pm La tarde siguió con calma pero sin pausa, Andrés se dirige al Greenhab a fertilizar y los demás enfocados en sus tareas y proyectos.
Mañana más y mejor!

The one who perseveres, achieves!
Sol 3
The night ended with emotions running high, exhaustion enveloping us even as the satisfaction of our achievements made us thrilled with happiness – laughter making us even cry!
The morning dawned peacefully; the sunrise here is so beautiful!
9:30 am We had breakfast and began to set each of today’s tasks in motion.
General cleaning in the Hab, Andrés finishing the food inventory (he has our snacks, treats, sweets, and candies well rationed), Luis focused on capturing unbelievable images of the sky daily, Andrea is getting ready to start the mixtures and obtain starch in the ScienceDome, Tomás with the GPS receivers…
The morning goes by so fast, so focused…
2:30 pm Tom and Marina cooked lunch together for the crew. Today we had broccoli with sweet potato and carrot accompanied by mashed potatoes. And the post-meal moment reassembles our souls.
5 pm The afternoon continued calmly but without pause, Andrés headed to the Greenhab to fertilize, and the others focused on their tasks.
More and better tomorrow!

MDRS ROBOTIC OBSERVATORY
Robotic Telescope Requested: MDRS-WF
Objects to be Imaged this Evening: NGC 281 (Pacman nebula) and maybe others.
Images submitted with this report: Orion Nebula (M41)
Problems Encountered: Just the same problems with the "Mount error" and "Camera error"; however, Peter is helping me to fix it.
IMPORTANT!!!!!!!! : Out of the entire sequence of photographs of the 5 bands, I found an anomaly in one of the photographs of the green band where 3 bright points are visible in a 3-MINUTE exposure photograph. Due to the exposure time, it doesn’t seem to be a meteor or satellites. I hope that Mission Support can assist me in delving into this and finding a possible explanation. If further information is needed on this matter, please let me know. Attached is a comparison between a photograph similar to all the others where the 3 points are not visible and the particular photo I mentioned earlier.
MUSK OBSERVATORY
