EVA 25 Report

Lucinda Land Reporting

Time: 14:22 / 14:55

Crew Members: Crewmember, Sandstorm

Site Location: Outside of Hab door, East

Transit Mode: by foot and rover

Objectives: To test range of outside router with Sandstorm

Results: Sandstorm and a crew member on EVA for 241.40 meters with the router outside the Hab. We had the router hard wired to the computer after the wi-fi failed to be seen on the computer. Maxnet connected successfully to the rover. The crew member and the rover took the route as he had done the first day when the router was inside the Hab.

Lessons Learned: If the batteries on the rover could last longer, it could probably go farther. Terrain-wise, the rover needs to be on relatively flat ground and in the line of site of the router.
