Crew Status: The 5 remaining crew members are in good condition, and ready for a strong finish to the rotation.

Daily Recap: Early this morning Ryan left the crew. He is off on a trip sponsored by the ESA. Back on Mars, Amy, Daniel and Jason completed EVA 16. On this EVA they revisited Lithe Canyon in a search for the elusive dinosaur fossils, but again had little success. Back at the Hab, Dennis worked on several things in GreenHab, while Kevin worked to bring the PSUMS rover online.

Tomorrow's Plan: Tomorrow the crew will finally have time to do testing with the PSUMS rover. It will also be the last day for the three remaining PSUMS members, as Amy, Jason and Kevin will be leaving around 4:00 Saturday.

Daily Reports: The standard reports should be in tonight by 21:30. The preliminary EVA and science reports should be tonight, with the final versions coming late tonight or early tomorrow.
