Commander Report

Mars Log: 2014.12.19

Well, our visitors from Jupiter arrived quite early but the crew was

ready and prepared to receive these curious Jupiterians. They enjoyed

the recompression protocoI in the airlock before entering the Hab. I

have to say that I am impressed with crew 145 for maintaining

simulation throughout the day.

We conducted the retesting of the medical EVA and a second geological

terrain scouting with crew Michal while Julielynn was responsible for

Capcom and Matteo the robotic engineer piloted the rover from inside

the Hab. It was our first ATV EVA during this expedition and we

enjoyed the experience.

The production crew filmed many of our projects including the simple

surgical debridement and suturing procedure which is part of the

training study protocol for non-medical trained crew members. Our crew

engineer, Matteo performed the surgery and executed the procedures

perfectly with minimal instructions. We incorporated the 3D printed

scalpel into the surgery procotol. Julielynn demonstrated the 3D

printer technology and took care of the greenhab duties.

All in all it was an enjoyable day for the crew on Mars. Here’s to

another day on Mars!

Ad Astra!
