EVA #9 Report

March 26, 2008

Dan Crowley


Time:
Departed: 1907
Returned: 2005


Crew Members:
Sean Blackman, Dan Crowley


Site Location:
Flag hill, south of hab.


Transit Mode:
Foot.


Objectives:
Install and tension guy wires and turnbuckles for wind turbine tower.


Lessons Learned:
If 1.5" steel conduit was hard to manipulate in suit gloves, 1/2" nuts
are much worse. Some fine-tuning may be done with regard to the
tension in each rope, but the tower is vertical and very solid. The
turbine itself will be mounted tomorrow.
