Commander's Report, 5 January 2014
Today we saw off Crew 132 in the early AM. They left us a clean, well-stocked Hab and spent their
last evening on Mars going over the daily maintenance tasks required to keep the station running
well. They also were a great source of tips and advice on how to live better and more productively
here. As a very successful crew they have set the bar high for us -- we appreciate the challenge!
Crew 133 did pre-sim training and orientation today with a basic ATV lesson followed by a walk to
the ridge above the Hab to get a better perspective on the surrounding terrain. Gordon and
Elizabeth started some seeds that will eventually be the initial inhabitants of the new hydroponics
tank. Matthieu made initial contact with the flight surgeon this morning. Gordon and I worked out
a schedule of cooking, cleaning, EVA, and major event/report due dates through the rotation with
feedback from the rest of the crew. With training, orientation and a schedule established we
entered sim tonight at 6PM with a stirring toast by Gordon.
Tomorrow we plan to build on the EVA suit introduction given to us by Crew 132 when I show the crew
how to help each other into the suits and go through proper EVA procedures and comms. We will then
do two short EVA to give each crew member a chance to step out onto Martian regolith for the first time.
