Sol 11 Crew 193 EVA Summary Earth-Date 3MAY2018

EVAs _ There were no EVAs planned today, as we had visitors this morning that lasted into the afternoon. After they left we had some rain, which precluded any contingency EVA that we had planned.

We did have an Engineering EVA this morning, in which our CO used an ATV to make contact with the visitors from another planet.

EVA Gold Crew Members – Gold001 (XO Campbell) / Gold004 (HSO Pandya) (Informally: “Team Canada”)

EVA Objectives – Summary

1. Exploration of The Moon – Could not adequately confirm en route; map now suggests we overshot and ended up in Lith Canyon. Suggest re-visiting actual Moon site at a later date.

Distance covered by foot – 11,500 Steps – 8.5 km

2. Scouting and Mapping of Emergency Shelter Sites – Not Mapped, as uncertain regarding location / Raw data here

3. EVA Comfort, Well-Being, Safety and Optimization Study / Raw data here

4. Visor Fogging Study – Data collected / Raw data here

Issues/Mitigation Gold001’s comms failed almost immediately flashing ‘low battery’ despite having been charged x 24 hours. This was mitigated intra-EVA by maintaining line-of-sight contact at all times, and turning on this unit only when LOS was not possible. Were unable to tell where the turn-off for White-Yellow-Beige Moon region was; suspect we overshot and ended up in Lith Canyon. Will review images and maps to confirm.

ATVs Used

Manual gear-shift (red) Blue ATV #21 These ATVs require fuel (requested); will refuel before next use.

Sol 2 Crew 193 EVA 7 Summary Earth-Date 25APR2018

EVA Gold Crew Members – Gold000 (CO Patil-Sabale) / Gold002 (CE Attig) / Gold005 (CGA Shear)

EVA Objectives – Summary

Paint the MDRS Signpost in the RAM Climb the hills behind the hab to head to the Hab Ridge, explore Hab Ridge to locate emergency shelter/s

Issues/Mitigation Painting in the afternoon hours in the extremely hot RAM proved unhealthy. After 45-50 minutes in the RAM, the crew started trekking up a hill to get to the Hab Ridge. Halfway up the hill our CO felt dehydrated. The EVA was cut short and the crew returned to the RAM. Need fans in the RAM Discontinue using prototype suit for EVA’s during this mission, it’s too small and doesn’t allow enough airflow which is a must especially during a hot day.

ATVs Used None. This was a planned project and on-foot EVA

Issues

One Beartooth device failed before this EVA, so the (deaf) CGA was forced to take his writable LCD tablet along for communication. The stylus went missing at the beginning of the EVA. For the duration of this EVA, we made do with hand gestures and the note app on our phones to communicate with the CGA. Fortunately, his stylus was recovered at the end of this EVA. We will continue to troubleshoot the Beartooth issue.
