GreenHeb Report – April 28th

Crew 211 GreenHab Report – 28-APR-2019

GreenHab Officer: Chloé Peduzzi

Environmental control: Ambient with door open + fan turned up to 2

Shade cloth: 80%

Average temperatures:

Low: 16°C

High: 45°C

Hours of supplemental light: 0

Daily water usage for crops: 4 gallons

Water in Blue Tank: 85 gallons

Time(s) of watering for crops: 11:30

Changes to crops: All plants look healthy. Nevertheless the tomato plant of the GreenHab seems a little stressed (curved leaf), I will water it accordingly over the next couple of days. We have harvested the lettuce (from plants we have brought) for the dinner.

Narrative: Hot day. I have cleaned the floor of the GreenHab to make sure it stays a pleasant place in which to work. Moreover I have regrogrammed the fan, as you asked me, so it will be “on” from 10:00 to 17:30. Is that okay ?

Harvest: 27.5g lettuce (from plants we have brought)

Support/supplies needed: I have regrogrammed the fan, as you asked me, so it will be on from 10:00 to 17:30. Is that okay ?

EVA Report – April 28th

Crew 211 EVA Report 28-04-2019

EVA #7

Author: Simon Collignon

Purpose of EVA: Exploring the geology of White Rock Canyon
Start time: 09:00 am
End time: 10:45 am

Narrative: The aim of this EVA was to explore the White Rock Canyon and gather some soil samples which were successfully retrieved. After the scientific part of this EVA, we’ve looked after ancient river beds which could be a good evidence of liquid water on Mars.
Destination: White Rock Canyon

Coordinates Latitude: 4248000, longitude: 52000 (UTM NAD27 CONUS)

EVA Participants: Simon Collignon, Julien Amalaberque, Nathan Pechon

Mode of travel: Driving and hiking

Vehicles used: Spirit and Curiosity

Science Report – April 27th

Science Report 27 April 2019
Crew 211 – UCL to Mars
Submitted by Science Officer Maxime Bernard

1) Commander Carl Dahlqvist

He finished his code yesterday and he still testing it today.

He also tested the hardware side of the main module as well as mounted and tested 4 of the 7 secondary modules.

2) XO Officer

Finishing and testing the trilateration algorithm of his ultra-wide bandwidth system.

3) HSO Officer Benjamin Flasse

Every morning and every evening, the HSO still gather data about the measurements, weight, brain awakeness, tension and pulse of the crew.

He has now enough data to start analyzing his CFFF-cortical arousal graphics.

4) Crew Astronomer Eleonore Lieffrig

Working on the density probability via the Direct Fourier transform method while coding an algorithm that should allow her to verify the non-dependency of the colloidal particles Brownian motion with regards to the gravity.

5) Crew Engineer Julien Amalaberque

He studied the performance and efficiency of simultaneous location and mapping algorithm depending on the resolution of video streams coming from Intel RealSence D435i camera.

6) Crew Biologist Chloé Peduzzi

Spent the day preparing her Petri dish.

7) Crew Journalist Nathan Pechon

We had a new meeting to talk about the value of life on Mars and how to deal with criminality.

He then worked on his own on different law articles that resulted from in what was said the previous talks. He is glad these debates aren’t sterile but on the contrary, very constructive and animated.

8) Crew Scientist Maxime Bernard

Keeping up with the data acquisition. Some issues are already appearing with the counting statistic.

Questions, concerns and requests to Mission Support:

* The levels of diesel and propane are absolutely not moving
* Dr. Rupert brought us the first refill of our food with some flour, rice, cereals.. as well as some medical supplies and we are really thankful.

She indicated that we would receive water soon which is also great news.
