SOL ACTIVITY SUMMARY:
Very successful EVA 5 sortie/HABCOM routine with two very successfully accomplished objectives re
UAV reconnaissance supported ATV retrieval of a wounded astronaut with space suit leak mitigation and triage at a distance requiring ATV support
Preliminary pre-test biomedical experience and assessment of MDRS spacesuit’s adverse impact on global human performance, well-being, and health [3rd sortie]
Most of the day spent with Saturnian visitors and working on crew assigned tasks, duties as well as prepping for setting up other preliminary feasibility pre-pilot study projects
Creative Crew activity scenarios were discussed and evaluated re tomorrow’s Saturnian/media visit planned for tomorrow morning SOL 7
Look Ahead Plan:
How are you going to follow up?
Daily systematic checks are planned ahead of time regarding maintenance and logistics routines as well as pre-pilot studies completion status and further organization. We will abide by the timelines as we planned them.
