Phrase of the Day – November 18th
Sol Summary – November 18th
Sol Summary Report (SSR):
Sol# 56
Person filling out report: Annalea Beattie
Summary Title: Chilly Friday.
Mission Status: On track
Sol Activity Summary:
At the start of our day, Plant Number Seven pH is down. O no.
Claude-Michel advises it needs the seeds pushing in one quarter of an inch and ten drops of pH. We hope this works.
Early, Anu and Yusuke went out on EVA to sample lichens, I asked, but there is nothing more to say except a successful sampling EVA and an early finish due to helmet fogging. Anastasiya and Claude-Michel partially assembled the new ATV in the morning and Yusuke helped finish it this afternoon. Jon and Annalea took ATVs to a canyon we all call Green Mars for a very chilly EVA to sample hypoliths. In the afternoon Anu and Anastasiya worked in the laboratory on hypolith processing. I cooked a loaf of bread which looks and tastes like sandstone. We all ate chocolate and chips with some masala tea mid arvo and after dinner tonight THE EXPANSE!
