Sol Activity Summary: Today was another special day: a journalist duo came from Washington to shoot a report for the news on a French national TV. They were very curious and friendly and should have taken great shots of Lith Canyon and the station. The reporter followed us wearing a spacesuit during the EVA. Let’s hope the result looks great!

The afternoon was quieter: human factors experiments, astronomy, experiments, video editing, demonstrations/interviews for the journalists…

Look Ahead Plan: Emergency procedures training vol. 2 in the morning, small EVA in the afternoon to deploy Solar Panels, GPS guidance system, shoot missing footage for the rotation video

Summary Title: Beginning of last martian week

Author: Victoria Da-Poian

Mission Status: All nominal

Sol Activity Summary: We began our last week on Mars. Today’s EVA was dedicated to air sensors experiments and to localization experiment. The EVA was not really successful (cf EVA report) but we still have one week left to work on this! In the Hab today, I was pleased to cook a salad (salad, cucumbers, cherry tomatoes!): it was delicious! I took care of the greenhab as Jérémy was outside and as the previous Crew 175 Greenhab officer, I spent some time enjoying the vegetables smells! Then, we spent time working on our experiments (human factors experiment, virtual reality filming…)

Look Ahead Plan: Tomorrow, we will welcome two French television journalists (TF1). They will spend the day with us from our physical training to our afternoon activities.

Summary Title: The first EVA without veterans

Author: Victoria Da-Poian

Mission Status: All nominal

Sol Activity Summary: This morning, the crew woke up lately (35 minutes late) , and we decided not to do our physical exercise as an EVA was planned at 9am. After our breakfast, Alex (EVA leader), Jérémy, Laurent and Benoit went outside to perform their first EVA without Louis or me in the team. I have to say I was quite worry to let my “little martians” go outside without Louis or me. The EVA went well even if we faced some radios issues (our Habcom Gabriel was hardly able to communicate with the EVA team …) The afternoon was dedicated to our human factors experiments (the competition is really funny to observe).

Look Ahead Plan: Tomorrow, we will all work on our outside experiments (MegaARES and LOAC), on the radios issues and will explore again Mars. On Saturday, we will welcome a French journalist and everyone seems happy to see a new face. We will all work on our experiments and have our routine (physical training in the morning, human factors experiments, bread competition…)

Summary Title: Inside Ops

Author: Louis Mangin

Mission Status: All nominal

Sol Activity Summary: Today started with another general good performance during the sport session: everybody is in good shape and athletic in this crew! After breakfast, four of us spent the morning upgrading the GrenHab by adding the new shade, and cleaning/ reorganizing it. The day went on with work on our experiments: human factor experiments, location, EVA logger, solar panel cleaner.

Look Ahead Plan: Exploration of Lith Canyon, deployment of location and logger systems, human factors experiments, emergency procedures follow up.

Summary Title: The day of emergency procedures

Author: Victoria Da-Poian

Mission Status: All nominal

Sol Activity Summary: This morning, after a small issue of alarm (1 hour late on our usual wake up), we had a nice physical training (I was really motivated and did a really nice session!). After our breakfast, Laurent (our HSO) gave us a briefing about the emergency procedures. The afternoon was dedicated to use all this theory during EVA. Louis, Benoit, Gabriel, Laurent and I went outside the Hab to simulate all these emergency procedures. After this interesting EVA, we spent one hour doing the human factors experiment of Gabriel. (I think I am already addicted to this game, and playing with Laurent and Alex is really fun).

Look Ahead Plan: We were already all busy the first days of our second week. Tomorrow, we will all work on our experiments and will not go to EVA. At the end of this week, we will welcome a French journalist and everyone seems happy to see a new face. We will all work on our experiments and have our routine (physical training in the morning, human factors experiments, bread competition…)

Sol 8

Summary Title: Getting the rhythm

Author: Louis Mangin

Mission Status: All nominal

Sol Activity Summary: Today started by a quick EVA, to change LOAC’s battery, followed by an exploration of White Canyon. We spent this afternoon working on experiments and cleaning up the Hab as lower deck was becoming very dirty. The crew is now in good shape and the three of us recording our physical performance this morning scored new records in almost every discipline. Only some of us lack of sleep, but except from this, everybody is doing great! The only thing worrying us is reduced food’s portions, but we start to adapt to lighter meals.

Look Ahead Plan: Emergency procedures training in the morning, in situ testing during a quick EVA near the hab in the afternoon.

Anomalies in work: Water leak in the Hab Lower deck

Weather: Mostly sunny.

Summary Title: Rest Day

Author: Louis Mangin

Mission Status: All nominal

Sol Activity Summary: We decided to declare two rest days this year because all the lack of sleep we accumulated last year. No fixed hour of wake up for today, but everybody was busy by 11:00 a.m. This day was supposed to be free and dedicated to long run tasks or personal time. In the afternoon, we split in different team, working in the greenhab to rearrange it, cooking, producing an encouragement video for school’s student selected for a TV show. It was also the time for a first individual debriefing about the sport sessions I organize.

Look Ahead Plan: Change of LOAC’s battery, exploration of White Canyon in EVA. Experiments repair, backpack change of battery, emergency procedures inside training.

Anomalies in work: Water leak in the Hab Lower deck

Weather: Mostly sunny, cold.

Summary Title: First results

Author: Louis Mangin

Mission Status: All nominal

Sol Activity Summary: Normal start: everybody is now accustomed to the physical training even if some legs are already heavy. The third EVA was supposed to deploy the LOAC but it didn’t go that well. The power system had an issue and wires melted once I pluged it in. We then brought the equipement back to the hab, and went on for the EVA, going East to do a bit of exploration near Cactus Road, and shoot photos for the school. This afternoon was dense: after lunch break, we answered to a French journalist interview, played the first session of Gabriel’s human factor experiment, installed a new shade on the GreenHab, worked on experiments, so that we didn’t have enough time to fix the backpack’s fans. Tomorrow EVA will then be done using the new version, before we take time to take care of these (this time, I really want to do it tomorrow).

Look Ahead Plan: Third deployment try of LOAC, data gathering of MegaARES, exploration of Candor Chasma, backpack’s fans inspection, end of shade replacement in greenhab.

Anomalies in work: Broken light in the bathroom (no replacement one found). Water leak in the Hab Lower deck, broken fans in spacesuits.

Weather: Cold and Cloudy

Crew Physical Status: Fine, already a bit tired, but everybody naped.

EVA: Second

Reports to be filed: Commander Journalist HSO Engineering Greenhab Officer EVA

Support Requested: New light for bathroom (see Engineering report)

Summary Title: First experiments deployment

Author: Victoria Da-Poian

Mission Status: All nominal

Sol Activity Summary: Our day began with our lovely physical training. It is already adopted by each crewmember. Since this morning, everyone has experienced the EVAs. We managed to deploy one experiment (the MegaARES) but a small problem enabled the LOAC deployment. We will fix it with Jérémy in order to try again tomorrow. Even if Gabriel had a very foggy helmet (fans problems), and everyone seems really happy and I have to say the photos Benoit took are really nice. During our EVA, the rest of the crew fixed the water boiler, cleaned, cooked and worked on experiments. After the lunch and a little break, Gabriel showed us his humans factors experiment, and everyone worked on their own experiments and reports.

Look Ahead Plan: After our first deployment, the second air sensor, (LOAC) will normally be deployed tomorrow.

Anomalies in work: Water leak in the Hab Lower deck, broken fans in spacesuits

Weather: Nice

Crew Physical Status: Fine, already a bit tired from the first EVAs

Summary Title: The day of Firsts

Author: Victoria Da-Poian

Mission Status: All nominal

Sol Activity Summary: First physical training, first EVA. We started our day by the very famous physical training of the ISAE Supaero crews. After a nice morning working on our mission planning, fixing our experiments, and getting ready for our first EVA, we had a nice lunch with our first dried vegetables. After the lunch, the all crew worked on the EVA preparation to help the ones going outside and to learn the EVAs functioning. The EVA went fine and we will deploy our experiments tomorrow. Our first bread is baking.

Look Ahead Plan: Because of the wind planned for today, only one part of the crew went out for an EVA in the Hab surroundings to select a location to deploy our air sensors, MegaARES and LOAC. Tomorrow the other part of the crew will go to their first EVA to deploy our experiments.

Anomalies in work: Water leak in the Hab Lower deck, broken fans in spacesuits, water boiler broken

Weather: Windy, cold in the station
