Author: Dean Aubin
Final in-sim day. Our morning began with learning about one of the most important potential obstacles in long distance human space travel: the human psyche. Our successful EVA today just showed how well we are all beginning to come together as a team. Finishing off the afternoon with details from our resident NASA flight surgeon, we covered astronaut selection and nutrition and the effects of space-associated neurooccular syndrome. Tonight we all sit down for a hot meal and review the amazing memories and bonds formed this week.

Summary Title
Enjoying the Third QUarter
Mission Status:
Good
Sol Activity Summary:
Today was our “third quarter” day in sim. We enjoyed lectures on ultrasound in spaceflight, microgravity physiology, and genitourinary changes in spaceflight. We also had an exciting EVA simulating some of these changes.

Anomalies in work:
We did have an ATV battery die away from the Hab. We have brought the battery back and are charging it, and will attempt to replace it tomorrow.
Weather:Sunny, A little less warm than yesterday
Crew Physical Status:Doing well.

Our day started at 7 o’ clock to another amazing view. Sean and Doug prepped our crew with a preflight summary before the launch of their custom-built, 1:3 scale, MDRS Nike Smoke rocket. With our launch site scouted yesterday, we were vertical and go for launch by 1031.
A spectacular launch produced a peak altitude of over 5000 feet and a gentle descent up onto the plateau west of our launch site. Drone footage pending.
Afternoon lectures from Dr. Rick Cole over winter and water survival and his experiences as a NASA flight surgeon were intriguing. We ended the day with a successful two-team EVA to recover the rocket from the western plateau.
