Report compiled by Julielynn (HabCom) and Matteo, and typed by Matteo

Coordinates of WPI are unavailable because the UAV is still

out there and we have yet to recover its local telemetry.

Matteo's note: We lost a UAV, which is a good trade for a crewmember

(that's what UAVs are for!). May attempt retrieval tomorrow. Medivac

went well, using a robotic stretcher is much easier than using an ATV

and

a manual stretcher like we did today. I had a hard time with helmet

fogging, and sweat got in my eye meaning I had to do the latter half

of the EVA one-eyed. Carrying Igor inside is generally doable by one

person if necessary in Earth gravity, it will be very much doable in

Mars gravity. Triage went overall well.

A "claw" I built was mounted on my spacesuit glove (right pinky

finger, inside) and tested. It makes fiddly work like releasing velcro

or opening ziplog bags easier and, crucially, it allows deploying duct

tape

from rolls without using up any of its adhesive! I will generate a 3D

file and give them to Julielynn for printing. It does not get in the

way of other work. I'd like to call it a velociraptor claw since its

positioning is similar to that of the dinosaur's, and velociraptors

are awesome. Alternatively, we can call it a sicilian claw in

reference to an old Sicilian custom. Suggestions accepted!
