Crew 311 Sol Summary Report 08-03-2025

Sol: 20

Summary Title: « SOS d’un tunnel en détresse »

Author’s name: Erin Pougheon, Crew Commander

Mission Status: Nominal

Sol Activity Summary: The day started with the nominal sport session and then, Crew Scientist, Crew Journalist and Crew Engineer went out on EVA to Sea of Shells. The aim was for Crew Journalist and Crew Scientist to find 10 checkpoints that were placed at the beginning of the week thanks to maps they drew with a 3D map generated with drone pictures. They were very successful and found every checkpoint in less than an hour!

After that, everyone had lunch in the Hab. An alarm rang at 3:06 PM indicating that the hole in the tunnel system had caused its depressurization! We organized an emergency EVA to save the station. Crew HSO, Crew Scientist and Crew Journalist went out on EVA both inside and outside the tunnels to repair the tunnels. The operation was successful and after two hours, the tunnel system was operational again!

Look Ahead Plan: Tomorrow it’s Sunday and it will be a calm day in the station. We’ll wake up later than usual, at 8:30 AM and have a longer sports session. After that, we’ll clean the station and have some rest for the rest of the day.
