Crew 178 EVA #5 report 15 APR 2017

Weather: sunny, dry and hot
Temperature: around 30°C
Location: 12 S 0519938 4247631
Elevation: 1333 m
Duration: 120 min
Team: Damien Mertens (crew engineer), Elke Mergny (crew geologist), Quentin Thomas (crew astronomer)
Purpose:
–       Geophysical survey of the area with a ground penetrating radar
–       Telecommunication: installation of marking devices that use tools to cartography the sound beacons placed next to dangerous reliefs and hence, to construct a map of risk areas.
Outputs:
–       Ground penetrating radar: 7 geophysical profiles collected (area of the survey=10000m²). 3D mapping will be established
–       The installation of the marking device succeeded but the localisation system needs still to be adapted (see tomorrow’s EVA)
