Journalist Report
Sukrit Ranjan Reporting
Team LAMBDA started out with ATV training. In two groups, we took
exploratory EVAs and learned to use the vehicles.
At 12:30, the team
entered sim. After lunch, we did a pair of EVAs on foot to get used to
the EVA suits and to prepare for sample collecting tomorrow.
Group 1
went long to Candor Chasma. Those suits are hot and heavy!
Group 2
took a shorter path and went to the MDRS geocache. Lesson learned:
short walking EVAs are better.
After a tasty dinner of rehydrated
fettuccine, the team split up to wrap up the day's work and prepare
for tomorrow's EVA.
