EVA-8:

Time: 0930-1215
Comander: Lealem
Crew: Olathe
Site Location: Candor Chasma
Transit Mode: Pedestrian

Objectives: Continue exploration and sampling in Candor Chasma - sample Crew 56 halophile sample site.

Lessons Learned: Get'er done! Time allocated to each EVA (three hours) is quite short and requires a fast pace, especially when a half-hour walk each way is involved. We were able to travel over two kilometers from Hab, sample and document four sites, and return to Hab in less than three hours.
