Log Book for March 1, 2004
Commander's Check-In
Kevin Sloan Reporting

Crew Status: After actually getting a full night's rest last night, the crew is doing exceptionally well.

Daily Recap: Everyone was up by 8:00, with Amy and Jason rising around 7:00 to take care of all of the engineering duties. Dennis, Jason and Ryan departed on EVA 1 just after 10:30. This was a PED EVA covering several kilometers, reaching a distance of 2 kilometers from the Hab. They returned several samples, and explored formations around a lake North of here. After they returned, there was an EVA debriefing, and Dennis and Kevin also did work on GreenHab. Daniel, Kevin and Ryan went on EVA 2 at 4:25. This was an out-of-sim EVA to develop ATV handling abilities.

Tomorrow's Plan: Tomorrow we will attempt a slightly longer EVA, perhaps one focusing on biology. The tele-engineering development of the PSUMS rover will continue. The GreenHab will hopefully see a few updates by the end of tomorrow as well.

Daily Reports: Tonight's reports will be submitted by 20:00.

  6. Geology Report -- Ryan Kobrick
Support Requested: There is no additional fuel for the ATVs. They are currently at 3/4 tank each, which should last for another two days. The Hab is also accruing a large supply of trash, which should be alleviated soon. Also, the water supply will likely need to be replaced within the next few days.
