Author’s name: Ariadna Farres, Commander

Sol Activity Summary:
The crew woke up around 6:45am to start with their daily exercise routine in the bottom deck. A first group, Ariadna Farres (Commander), Anna Bach (Executive Officer and resident artist), Estel Blay (Health and Safety Officer), exercised from 7 am to 7:30 am and the second group, Helena Arians (Engineer), Monica Roca i Aparici (Mission Specialist), Jennifer Garcia (Journalist) and Marina Martinez (Greenhab officer), exercised from 7:30 am to 8:00 am.
After that we enjoyed a delicious pancake breakfast. Today is a special day, our crew engineer completed a new turn around the Sun. Our excitement for the day meant that most of our EVA started later than planned.
During the morning EVA, Monica Roca i Aparici and Helena Arias worked on the corner reflector, installing some side bars for the final position of the antenna. In the meantime Estel Blay checked her solar panel experiment and used a 360 camera to scan the exterior of the MDRS base, guided by Jennifer Garcia from the inside. The rest of the crew worked on their research projects, observing the Sun, analyzing geological samples and filming the crew activity for the documentary.
The afternoon EVA was lead by Marina Martinez, and joined by Ariadna Farres, Marta Ferrer and Jennifer Garcia. This EVA started an hour late because they had to complete a project that was time sensitive. The EVA team intended to reach Green Mars View but they missed the turn on the road and ended by the fence at Lilith Canyon Road. At that point the communication with the base was lost and the team changed the sampling to ensure continuous communication with the base. However, they were told by mission control to come back to the base early.
Around 5:30 pm they started working on their midterm mission report and planning their EVA activities for the next week.
Anomalies in work: The lock from the Musk Observatory could not be unlocked after entering the observatory. A new lock was provided by mission support.
