Crew 98 Log Book for January 17, 2011 Photos of the dayCommander's Check-In ReportVirgiliu Pop Reporting Crew Physical Status: ExcellentTime Departed/Returned from EVA: No EVA performed today. Brief Narrative of Field Mission Results: N/A EVA Data/Interpretations: N/A Engineering/Hab Maintenance: As per the engineering report. Report Transmission Schedule: CMDR check-in, CMDR report, Engineering, Photos Plans for Tomorrow: Begin Sim Inventory: Food boxes intended for our crew, and two big boxes for common use, were picked up from Hanksville. Support Requested: Toilet needs to be fixed: clogged and no grey water available to flush it. Miscellaneous: Last day out of sim. Commander's ReportVirgiliu Pop Reporting The last day out of sim begun at 9 AM with breakfast cooked by Betty and Iulia (scrambled eggs with mushrooms). Then Dragos and I headed to Hanksville in order to pick up the food allotted for our crew. We also retrieved the common food supplies. We then returned to the hab, where we all discussed in an open manner each member's strengths, weaknesses, and duties. Having people with different personalities in a confined environment is a great way of studying human behaviour, and we are sure that we will get along if we are open to compromise within the mission's limits.Later on we used the last day out of sim for photo-ops back home - RoMars 2011 is followed by the Romanian public by the means of one of the main newspapers. Then the engineering team began its round. Their report is forthcoming by 8 PM. Some of us will head to Hanksville for the last time before beginning simulation, then we will eat dinner - cooked by the same Betty and Iulia - and we will set up the rover. Iulia and Betty will also catalogue the newly arrived food. Tomorrow we will begin sim (including the food study), but before that we will clean the spacesuit helmets.

(we were thinking of tidying it up) Journalist ReportDragos Bratasanu Reporting Today was an extremely busy day for all the crew members. After the morning engineering round, I went with the commander to the village to get the food supplies and ran back to the hab.Iulia and Beatrice worked all day on setting up the rover for the following days and went through geology books, and myself and Haritina set up the observatory. There was a lot of work to reach the start and we will also continue tomorrow because we didn't finish. The evening ended wonderfully. We took the official pictures of the crew, as attached. Hope you enjoy them! |
