EVA # 3
Author: Estel Blay
Purpose of EVA: Lilygo rescue mission and deploying the solar panel experiment
Start time: 9:20
End time: 11:37
Narrative: The crew managed to have a successful rescue mission, they recovered the Lilygo lost during EVA #2 around the area of Compass Rock (4252000N 520000E). Once the Lilygo was recovered, the GreenHub officer returned to the main hub due to the need to continue the setup of the geological instruments. The scientist and the commander proceed to install the solar panel experiments close to the MDRS solar panel area. 2 small boxes were fixed to the ground 5 meters east of the MDRS solar panels and 1 small structure was fixed 5 meters away to the observatory area (west to the solar panels). The crew journalist tried to scan the exterior of the main building for the creation of an interactive virtual tour. Due to the strong wind conditions she didn’t manage to finish the activity and she will have to try to finish the scan in a future EVA.
