Commander's Check-In
Emily Colvin Reporting
Crew Physical Status: Pretty good, but tired. A few of us have spent too much time in suits over the last couple of days. And a long time driving ATVs is always a pain in the right thumb...
Time Departed/Returned from EVA: EVA 5 (Box Canyon): Departed 1206 Returned 1455 EVA 6 (Hab Area - Wind Turbine): Departed 1206 Returned 1343 EVA 7 (Hab Area - Wind Turbine): Departed: 1909 Returned: 1941
Brief Narrative of Field Mission Results: EVA 5: Drove to the Box Canyon, with almost complete radio coverage. EVA 6: Driving the rest of rebar for the wind turbine. EVA 7: Raising the tower structure and beginning tower assembly for wind turbine.
EVA Data/Interpretations: EVA 5: Only lost a bit of voice data down at the lip of the canyon. We believe stepping up the EVA radio power would have prevented this, but didn't want to mess with it or prompt a battery change. EVA 6: Continuation of yesterday's, finished the rebar, "rock is hard". EVA 7: Gloves slightly impaired assembly, but nothing insurmountable. Considering VOX in the future, but probably not feasible.
Hab Maintenance: Continuing work in the GreenHab. All parts have been located for the hypothetical setup, but we're running into actual implementation issues. More to come in the engineering report.
Report Transmission Schedule: Expect Commander's Report, 3 EVA Reports, Journalist's Report, and Engineering Report, all by 9 (might be running a tad late, we were hoping to get a few things done before reports).
Plans for Tomorrow: Candor Chasma and Phobos Peak in the morning, for the radiation study. Afternoon in the general area of the Hab (rover, incline, radiation are all possibilities).
Inventory: We have printing capabilities! Yay! And Elisha has more Splenda and Kool-Ade.
Support Requested: None.
Miscellaneous: Definitely still the Hab - we know what we want to do, we have parts that we think will do it, and yet it doesn't actually work the way we want it to.
