Sol Activity Summary:
Pre-Breakfast loft water pump activation
Donning /duffing spacesuit for EVA2 sortie
Most of the day spent with Jupiterian visiting observers
EVA2 airlock decompression process
Very satisfactory EVA2 sortie /HABCOM routine with two very successful UAV evaluation and soils sample collection
Look Ahead Plan:
How are you going to follow up?
Several systematic checks are planned ahead of time regarding maintenance and logistics routines and studies planning. We will abide by the timelines as we planned them.
Thru tomorrow, briefings and creative scenarios testing re Saturnian/media visit on SOL 5 and SOL 6
What is the plan for tomorrow?
Submitted EVA3’s investigations and testings will focus on
1. Further identifying and mapping electromagnetic fields of interference hypothesized during EVA2 with respect to observing HABCOM/EVA radio connection frequency’s distortion and fading out
2. Initiating preliminary biomedical experience and evaluation of MDRS spacesuit’s adverse impact on global human performance
Anomalies and any problems in work:
No hot water available and dysfunctional toilet are still the two essential issues at this point in time
Weather: Dry cold, no wind, clear sunny blue skies. Solid ice and frost only, no snow.
Crew Physical Status: Everyone is in excellent.
EVA: where did you go?
Mid-morning, EVA crew spend over one hour including respectively 15 and 45 minutes for UAV payload delivery [Study 1] and soils sampling and collection [Study 2] both performed nearby the Hab within 500 meter radius.
