Crew 267 Sol Summary Report 02-11-2022Sol: 3
Summary Title: Windy Mars
Author’s Name: Laurène Delsupexhe, Crew Engineer
Mission Status: Nominal
Sol Activity Summary: Our crew woke up this morning at 7:30 am and prepared breakfast together while the Crew Biologist, watered up the plants in the GreenHab. After breakfast, the commander led a brief meeting on the day’s work. Laurène and Cristina then prepared for their EVA but it was cancelled 15 min before leaving due to high winds. Therefore, time was spent on reviewing, reorganising and updating the crew’s website. Meanwhile, Marta and Paula had their first LGM session: it was lovely being able to get in contact with their dear ones.
After a nice lunch and coffee, and a quick game of cards, the crew then proceeded to test the Dronomy robot in the hab. Luckily, as the winds had gone down, Cristina and Laurène managed to go for a quick EVA to the Kissing Camels. They were able to explore this beautiful region in addition to taking some nice photos for Laurène’s sponsor, her former school.
After a busy sol, the crew did yoga and watched a film all together.
Look ahead plan: Tomorrow we will most likely have an indoor day as the weather report is quite negative.
