MAU Crew 220 Sol 8 Summary 27Jan2020

Summary Title: Skills and Drills and SiMAUlated Fractures Oh My!
Author’s name: Shawna Pandya, Commander
Mission Status: Nominally windy
Sol Activity Summary: The MAU and MDRS rendezvoused for a day of medical drilling, skilling and practical application. In the morning, the two physicians on the crew reviewed previously learned skills, and then also taught the crew about additional triage and assessment skills. These skills were then tested in simulated trauma scenarios on EVA in front of the hab. Most excitingly, these EVAs saw the first deployment of the Golden Bubble pressurized transport device in the field, which was successful, and provided many useful data points going forward. In other news, it was a windy day on Mars, necessitating two Engineering EVAs at MAU station to safely secure the base against the elements.
Look Ahead Plan: The crew looks forward to a day full of geological science and exploration tomorrow!

Weather: -6C low tonight with light winds at 12kph / 0% chance of precipitation tonight & tomorrow
Crew Physical Status: MEDucated
EVA: AM & PM medical EVAs drilling trauma scenarios in front of the MDRS Hab

EVA Report – January 27th

  


Crew 220 EVA Report 27JAN2020

EVA # 8

Author: Johannes Svensoy, MD

Purpose of EVA: Martian Medical training EVA

Start time: 1400

End time: 1600

Narrative: The morning was spent on medical lectures by Dr. Shawna and Dr. Svensoy at the MDRS Hab. The lectures on P-MARCH-P for first assessment of trauma patients and secondary survey that included full check of the patient. We also went through SAMPLE for patient history and METHANE for calling in the incident.

The crew members were well fed and hydrated leaving the airlock eager to test their skills on the simulated patient and on our medical manikin. Realistic training was conducted in near proximity of the MDRS Hab in the sunny and windy Martian terrain. Simulated exercises included broken ankle after fall, consciousness patient with neck injury after fall from a ladder, and crushed lower limbs after rover accident. The Golden Bubble pressurized medevac device invented by one of the crew members was used for transferring the patient to safety. The Golden Bubble pressurized medevac device can be used for suit breach and for doing medical procedures out in the Martian field.

At the end of the EVA crew members Morgan and Johannes went over to the MAU station on an Engineer EVA to secure the site because of heavy winds.

The crew members did well and expressed valuable learning points; they report being more prepared for taking care of patients if accidents would happen.

Destination: MDRS Station and proximity.

Sol Summary – January 26th

Crew 220 (MDRS) Sol Summary 22Jan2020

Sol: 7

Summary Title: Soulful Sol

Author’s name: Connie Delisle

Mission Status: Marsvellously Nominal

Sol Activity Summary:

The day started with a joint briefing and breakfast between the two Crews after MAU Crew came over to the MDRS Hab. The nature of this Mission intentionally provides opportunity for joint EVAs and learning opportunities in order to observe and discuss the nature of small-larger group human factor interaction. Today’s morning activities included medical training on the METHANE procedure, additional drilling on the P-MARCH-P, and a training session on CRP and bagging (resuscitation). Crew members reported learning a great deal and appreciating the hands-on practice and drilling. Today’s activities with a smaller Crew followed the planned schedule and timing more closely than in previous days. In addition, the Crew reported being more relaxed and feeling less hurried between planned events.

Look Ahead Plan: Sol 8 includes a full schedule, starting at 07:00 for breakfast and MDRS-MAU Commander briefing on the day’s events. Following will be a Medical EVA near the MDRS Hab, serving as the initial field test of the “Golden Bubble.” This ground-breaking technology enabled innovation represents the culmination of several months of intense design work. The evening events will include: social science research (nutrition study, psycho-social study on willingness to go to Mars and a “Grand Rounds” technical presentation Sensory Illusion Cognitive Bias and False Memory from one of the Crew members who is a medical doctor.

Weather: Tonight, cloudy skies with a lowest temperature around -2°C, with a 40% chance of snow. The average highest temperature during the day until Saturday is 5°C, and the lowest during the night would be around -4°C.

Crew Physical Status: The Crew has been working hard and is somewhat fatigued. However, they were bolstered by the wonderful day on Mars.

EVA: One afternoon EVA was conducted, starting at MDRS to MAU Station, with a return to MDRS at 17:30.

EVA Report – January 26th

Crew 220 EVA Report 26Jan2020

EVA # 1

Author: Johannes Svensoy, MD

Purpose of EVA: Moving personnel and equipment between MDRS and MAU Stations.

Start time: 1500

End time: 1700

Narrative:

PRE-EVA: Midday was used to pack and to go through equipment. All EVA Crew were hydrated and fed before leaving for EVA. The terrain here on Mars is muddy, however with no addition precipitation it is drying up some places.

EVA:

The airlock was loaded with personnel and equipment before depressurization, which was done without problems. Spirit and Curiosity rovers were used to move equipment over to MAU Station. After returning the rovers, the crewmembers walked over to MAU station doing some very nice terrain observations and photos on the way.

Destination: MAU Station

Coordinates: 4250050,518500

Participants: HabComm: Connie. EVA Crew: Johannes, Shawna, and Morgan.

Road(s) and routes per MDRS Map: Entrance road out to Cow Dung Road. Cow Dung Road South to MAU station.

Mode of travel: EVA with rover to move equipment.

Support Requested: No support requested during EVA.
