Green Hab Report

Sol 06

Earth Date: 02.04.2017

Functionality: The temperatures have been high on Mars these days. The temperatures were monitored continuously, inside the Green Hab the temperature was around 41 deg C with humidity around 1%, under misian Mars lamp it was 17.6 deg C with humidity around 40%. The noted outside temperature was 10 deg C. The high temperatures in the green hab is reducing the humidity that might affect the growth of plants thus the thermostat of the Green Hab heater was reduced from 12.7 deg C to 7.2 deg C. Around 5:30 PM, the temperatures inside the hab was 17 deg C and the humidity around 17 %, under the misian Mars lap it was 25 deg C and the humidity was 40% while the outside temperature was 9 deg C.

Status: The experiment was conducted on the fenugreek seeds by watering the Earth soil pots with Vitamin Rich water. The root growth was measured and the average root growth for fenugreek in Mars Soil tabulated for the green hab and under the misian Mars lamp. The observed root growth is as shown in the graph.

The root growth was measured for the plants growing in Mars soil under the mission Mars lamp and the readings were tabulated. The observed root growth is as shown in Figure 2.

Planned activity: Monitoring and maintaining the Green Hab temperature. Tabulating the growth of plants with varied amount of Vitamin D.
