Crew 311 Sol Summary Report 21-02-2025
Sol: 5
Summary Title: Enjoying the sweetness of silence
Author’s name: Erin Pougheon, Crew Commander
Mission Status: Nominal
Sol Activity Summary: This morning sports session was the first one in the last three days with every crew member participating in it! It was a good start to a calm morning. Crew Engineer, Crew Astronomer and Crew HSO created signs to place near the atmospheric instruments and discourage “aliens” to approach. Meanwhile, Crew Commander and Crew Scientist worked on the writing of scientific abstracts and Crew Journalist sketched the station, as an additional activity to the Orbital Architecture experiment. Before lunch, we also took some luminosity measurements with a specific sensor to know if the lights we finished installing yesterday were well calibrated or not.
After a good lunch and a little break, everyone went back to scientific activities. GreenHab Officier explained to other crew members how to use the drone in preparation for the EVA of tomorrow, while Crew Commander was monitoring water usages since the beginning of simulation and Crew Engineer worked on a system to monitor the atmospheric instruments’ batteries from the station. Crew Astronomer enjoyed the sunny weather to take some beautiful sun pictures.
It was a calm day in the station, full of little (but essential!) scientific activities!
Look Ahead Plan: On Sol 6, Crew 311 will perform its fourth EVA, in order to go to the atmospheric instruments and then to walk around the station to take some drone pictures and videos, as well as for communication purpose than for the stratigraphy experiment. We plan to finish activities early in the day in order for the Crew to start enjoying the weekend and rest.
