Log Book for March 14, 2004
Commander's Check-In
Reece Lumsden Reporting

Crew Status: The 6 crew are in extremely high spirits and their motivation is excellent.

Daily Recap: Crew 26 today received a handover from two of the remaining crew members from crew 25. After taking us through procedures for the GreenHab, generators, space suits and ATVs they both left at around 1000. The first half of the day was spent organising the food situation, cleaning out cupboards, and labelling shelves. Crew responsibilities were assigned and ATV training was conducted. We were also visited by Don Fautz from Mission Support and he took us through some of the issues from his perspective and offered his assistance.

Tomorrow's Plan: Tomorrow morning we will conduct one EVA, focussing on crew familiarity wandering around with the suits on and learning how to ride safely on the ATVs. The crew have many experiments of their own to conduct, ranging from habitats, human factors, time lapse image properties and bio-signature reading and analysis.

Daily Reports: Apologies must be extended to Mission Support as crew reports were a little late.
