MDRS Daily Summary Report for Sol 15

Summary Title (your day in less that ten words)

Welcomed Crew 156

Mission Status: (How are things going?)

First Engineers Refit Crew wants to thank the support of the Mars Society volunteers during our mission. We took the challenge to improve the MDRS hab not because it was easy but because it was hard. We hope other crews appreciate our efforts and take care of the hab. As in any project, there is always room for improvement. Having another refit mission in sim with the right tools and materials would definitely be possible. Something to keep in mind for an actual mission to Mars.

Sol Activity Summary: (What did you learn/do today?)

Made the last touch ups to the 7th stateroom

Cleaned up the hab and made a trip to the storage unit in town bringing painting items and other supplies

Welcomed Crew 156 at Hanksville and brought them to MDRS
