Route: EVA crew 149-8 remained within 50 m of the Hab.

Successful EVA.
Tear down of Trapezium proceeded smoothly. Data collected on sub-component disassembly times.
Erection of small dome also went smoothly. Once the crew learned to work on only one vertex at a time, to avoid jostling each other’s work, the sub-component assembly time improved considerably.
We did not have time to investigate the compression fittings, but will do so during a future EVA.
