Time Slot:
earlyPM
Purpose:
1- Engineering check
2- Survey of areas around the hab to find potential sites for PED experiment and Loss of coms experiment.
3- PR Photos
Initially it was planned that the crew would walk in the area North of the hab and take pictures of potential sites but upon request of Tiffany, the crew went South first to look for two potentially interesting sites.
Narrative:
The crew exited the airlock at 15:03 and took the direction of the MAV to check waypoint 167 (12S 0518136 4250387). Then the crew proceeded to waypoint 166 (12 S 0518368 4250416) and found two sites suitable for both experiments. However in order to perform these experiments, we will need to wait that the soil becomes more dry. Along the way, the crew took part in a small treasure hunt for Lucie's brithday. The crew then took PR photos and came back to the hab to perform the engineering check.
The mud made all moves difficult so the crew walked very slowly. Even if every body was very precautious, Lucie fell twice. No injury to report, solely a muddy suit.
We had fogging issues in two suits: the one-piece suit and the number 6. It made seeing the way a little harder.
A successful EVA overall.
