Time:
Departed: 09:57 Returned: 13:12


Crew Members:
Michele Faragalli, Kerry Cupit


Site Location:
Candor Chasma, Burgener Ridge, Midridge Planitia


Transit Mode:
ATV


Objectives:
Testing out geological field equipment and survey possible sites for soil gas analysis.


Lessons Learned:
Midridge Planitia is a good site for upcoming soil gas analysis tests as deemed by the crew geologist. There could be unexpected interesting samples along the way to the survey site, so bring more sample bags! Once connector for the soil gas tester broke off and luckily we could use the other tube-connector on the analyzer. Next bring tools and replacement equipment for infield repairs!
