Crew 240 EVA Report 02-01-2022

EVA #1

Author: Clément Plagne

Purpose of EVA: First in-sim EVA experience, acquaintance with procedures

Start time: 10:03

End time: 11:00

Narrative: Pre-EVA briefing went smoothly, and we drove to the spot safely and slowly. Finding my bearings with the map and getting my confidence back took a smidge more time than I expected, but we arrived at Marble Ritual without any delay. We walked on Marble Ritual, and a little bit around its rocky formation to get some bearings in the suits. Pierre felt confident enough in the suit to try and take out his drone, which I approved for a quick flight and a picture. A crew member mentioned that they were beginning to feel some back pain, and we therefore decided to call it for the walk and drive back to MDRS, which went well too. We were pleased to see that the batteries for both rovers stayed very high, as they had depleted fairly quickly on training day.

General notes and comments: The front airlock door has been secured
with the rope that was attached to it, to keep it closed during the
high winds. The back airlock has been kept closed by lodging a wrench
in the locking mechanism. The outer surface of the panels near the
back airlock area (next to the static tank) came loose during the
winds. Thankfully, there is no breach. There are some materials strewn
through the tunnels as a result of the high winds. We can provide
pictures if needed. I believe Shannon has already inspected it.

MJ!

Sorry to reply so late, we’ve been fixing a watery situation at the outpost.
I think you might have the wrong email to send the reports. Gimme a second
