Crew Physical Status: just perfect!

Brief Narrative of Today's Results: Today, three crew members attempted the first long-range GeoMars EVA to White Rock Canyon. They collected various important geological samples and applied drilling techniques. Meanwhile the remaining crew had to fight against the storm and was forced for a short moment to break simulation in order to climb to the roof and fix a part destroyed by the wind. The operation was successful, images and a report will be sent by MSL M. Spiss. The day ended with a simulated radiation warning and the crew spending two hours in the airlocks, our radiation shelter.

EVA: 1.

Plans for Tomorrow: See flight plan day 9 of MCC. In our simulation, a new age will start tonight. The crew prepares for a spectacular exploration on Mars. Details soon.
