Science Report
Irene Schneider Reporting

Radiation Report:

Code = BLUE
Loc = Hellas Basin bottom
Avg Atmos Col dens = 22 gr/cm2
Composition = std back
Out Hab = 0.083 rem/day = 0.0034rem/hr
Rad Events = None
Tot.crew.exp =: none (no EVAs)

Science Experiments:

Biology: none.
Geology: none.
Astronomy: attempted but due to high winds once more was aborted.
Medicine: none.

Notation:

Code = BLUE: standard radiation levels.
Code = GREEN: warning for slightly increased rad levels.
Code = RED: solar storm possible onset.
Loc = location on Mars.
Composition = composition of radiation fields.
Std.Back = Standard background = GCRs. (Galactic Cosmic Rays)
Avg Atmos Col dens = Average Atmospheric Column Density. (units of gr/cm2)
Out.Hab = radiation levels monitored outside hab. (Units of dose equivalent= rem/day).
Events = solar events.
Tot.crew.exp = total crew radiation exposure when outside hab on EVA.
