Destination Name: Lith Canyon

Destination GPS: UTM NAD27, CONUS 0518815 4256523

EVA Goals: This was an EVA for the crew biologist John to take samples from saline environments in the Lith Canyon area.

Results: Seven samples were collected for the Halophile diversity study. These samples will be plated upon return to the hab.


Special Notes: We escorted the Spanish film crew to the area. ATV1 had difficultly starting initially, required a pull start. It functioned fine for the duration of the EVA.

Lessons Learned: Ensure the helmets are clean as the return into the setting sun on the ATVs, it was difficult at times to see ahead.
