Summary

The EVA team started by the engineering check, and putting out the

MOMA experiment because it was bright and sunny outsides. We left on

the ATVs all of them working great. Camille guided us to the very

picturesque canyon that we were looking for. We parked some 200m from

the canyon and finished on foot. We took some pictures and then set

out to explore. We found a way inside the canyon, and we set out

inside. We had a look at some rock outcrops, and inspected them for

maybe further geologic experiments. The canyon was really beautiful.

When we had done the exploring we wanted we headed back towards the

main road. On the way we stopped to inspect another rocky outcrop.

Then we returned to the Hab. Once back to the hab we replaced the MOMA

experiment in the engineering airlock. We went to retrieve the plastic

parts that had been used for previous CRV experiments. On our way back

to the Hab we spotted a leak, with some water in it, a bit left from

the bigger leak that we had spotted earlier on and that is known. Then

we went back inside. Mission accomplished. Very glad to have been able

to explore this awesome canyon, had a look at its geology. Riding on

the ATVs is always a fun experience too, especially on such a nice

martian sol.

Best,
