Sol Activity Summary:
G’day.
Sol # 73 and we are a week away from the end of the mission.
Writing for me today as I finished my space.com article on extremophile Yusuke and his great architectural dome project. This morning we tidied up a few stray ends with the writing, chose the photos and sent it Shannon for review.
Claude-Michel worked on the plants, pumped water and wrote reports.
Yusuke continued work on his 3D model of the hab after measuring every length and breadth of our home. Jon cooked lunch. Anu cleaned glassware, checked halophile plates and did some lab work. She is now writing the halophile plating report.
Anastasiya spent time in the lab, did some filming and wrote journalists reports.
On the EVA today Jon and Alex tested Alex’s project, the SSUIt (Space Suit User Interface) and Jerry the pack rat was released to the dry creek bed.
Please see today’s photo report for touching images of Jerry 4 leaving his cage and scampering off into the scrub.
