Summary Title: Technical setups for several experiments and first EVA
Mission Status: Good
Sol Activity Summary:
We woke up today at 8 am. The Crew Astronomer and the Crew Commander broke the sim for two hours (10-12 am) in order to take the aerial delivery at Hollow Mountain (5 days of late) containing our scientific equipment. We shared meal at 1 pm (tomato soup with bread). The Crew Geologist and the Crew Scientist started their EVA at 2 pm and came back at 3.30 pm. In the meanwhile, the other crew members set up their experiment in the Hab and the Science Lab. The Crew Geologist prepared its plants launched the GreenHab activities. We had to do an emergency EVA (in spacesuits of course) to the Shannon’s trailer from 7 to 9 pm in order to start CapCom session. Indeed, some electronic devices probably consumed all the daily Internet data for this day, that is why we were constrained to exceptionally go to the Shannon’s trailer. At 6.30 pm, we started a group meeting to debrief the day and prepare the day of tomorrow, and also to disable all the electronic devices of each crew member to avoid any further problem with the daily Internet datas. After the evening meal, some of the crew members enjoyed a movie, while others continued to work.Look Ahead Plan: (How are you going to follow up? What’s the plan for tomorrow?)
Anomalies in work: Internet data were consumed par mégarde
Weather: The beginning of the day started to be dégagé and clear. In the afternoon, some clouds added and the wind became more violent ???
Crew Physical Status: Everyone is fine
EVA: (where did you go?)
Reports to be file: Crew Engineer Report, Journalist Report,
Support Requested: The tunnel structure between the Hab and the Science Lab has suffered from heavy gusts of wind, it will be difficult

Summary Title: Fixing Internet and aerial delivery delays
Mission Status: Several technical problems prevent us to start the simulation
Sol Activity Summary:
The Crew Engineer and the Crew Commander started in the morning to fix the Hab’s Internet Connection: it has been a success since we identified that the issue was due to the rotation in the vertical axis of the parable. This rotation varied of a few degrees because of lots of gusts of wind. We then fixed this issue by adding a fastening system with ropes. The rest of the day was dedicated to discover the surrounding areas with ATV’s and rovers to have a better idea of the relief. We also started physical tests (known as the “bip test”) and other physical exercises outside in the framework of the experiment of our physiotherapist. Finally, we passed few hours to fix the aerial delivery delays by calling several customer services. We got the confirmation that our packages will be finally delivered tomorrow at 10 am.
Look Ahead Plan: Internet connection has been fixed and the delivery of our packages should coming tomorrow, we then plan to start the simulation tonight at 6 pm although two of our crew members will have to break the sim tomorrow morning to get our aerial delivery.
Anomalies in work: The technical assistance of HughesNet should still come to install a better fastening system for the parable since our solution is not robust against strong winds.
Weather: The weather was cleared and the sun predominant.
Crew Physical Status: Perfect health
EVA: No EVA

Good evening!
Today we met the very helpful Crew 176 at MDRS. Upon arrival at the hab, crew members were trained by Crew 176 members. Training included a brief tour around the MDRS facilities as well as over use of the ATVs, operation report data, water leak issue, etc. After the training we went to Bull Mountain Market to pick up our food according to the inventory sent by crew 176 as requested by Shannon.
We’ve made a plan for tomorrow, which will include, pending approval, our Orientation EVAs. We are expecting to enter sim tomorrow morning at 9:30 am, if possible.
