It was my first EVA and I found it very difficult to breathe in the astronaut suit and even more difficult to take pictures through the helmet. <br /><br />We went hiking on the mountains to discover a place to build a sun dial. After a long walk we found a spot not far from the hab and we decided to build the clock the following days. We just drew the circle and set up the center and tomorrow we will complete the clock with boulders - the hours. <br /><br />Our mission biologist spent all day in the laboratory and she is very happy because her bacteria finally grew up. <br /><br />Tonight I will go with Haritina to set up North for the sun dial and to photograph the Small Dipper. For the moment our Captain Cook is giving a performance in the kitchen. <br /><br />We also ordered a new ATV cover; it should arrive next week.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13546720356849170264noreply@blogger.com0Utah, USA39.3209801 -111.0937311000000133.0537476 -121.4208796 45.5882126 -100.76658260000002tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1010352084127447061.post-92130703729754478932011-01-22T04:26:00.000+02:002013-02-12T04:27:13.543+02:00Engineering Report Day 07 RoMars2011<br />Log Book for January 21, 2011<br />Engineering Report<br />Haritina Mogosanu Reporting<br /><br />Generator/Electricity: <br /><br />Kitty (Diesel Generator) (Used?

This is absolutely OK with the commander - as long as everybody does their job, he is totally happy! <br /><br />We had breakfast - tortillas with salami - then Haritina finished writing-up her recycling proposal and sent it to the powers-that-be. The captain then left the base with Dragos and Haritina, on a long EVA, aimed at locating an appropriate place for building a sundial. Romanians have a multi-millenary sundial tradition - the one built by our ancestors the Dacians is still standing in Sarmizegetusa. <br /><br />We left the hab on good hands - Iulia (NOT Lulia!, her name begins with I, and translates as July) and Betty tended to their science samples, while DG came with a team and performed extensive hab repairs with no EVA suit! <br /><br />Back to the captain and his away team - we located a suitable sundial spot not far from the hab and started to build it - we hope to finish it tomorrow. Then back at the hab, where we'll soon enjoy some kung-fu chicken. <br /><br />Jerry has not been seen today, and we hope that Planet Mars won't be known as Planet Mouse. On a personal note, the commander saw the mouse problem coming - when packing his bags for the MDRS, his cat sneaked in and was, unfortunately, chased away.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13546720356849170264noreply@blogger.com0Utah, USA39.3209801 -111.0937311000000133.0537476 -121.4208796 45.5882126 -100.76658260000002tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1010352084127447061.post-52607238976866594532011-01-22T04:11:00.000+02:002013-02-12T08:17:12.890+02:00Commander Check-in Day 07 RoMars2011<br />

We have already discussed with a friend back in Romania who's a director of photography and he will do the editing upon our return. <br /><br />After writing my press articles for the media in Romania, I switched and took up both the engineer and photographer role and went out on an EVA with our scientists. We discovered a wonderful mountain which we named after the President and CEO of the Romanian Space Agency, Dr. Marius Piso. The climb was very difficult but in the end we managed to get through it. <br /><br />The EVA lasted for about four hours and now our astronomer is cooking traditional Romanian food with the supplies provided at the Hab.

After a good nights sleep, the crew had a late wake-up (the RoMars members perform very well when rested), then we had breakfast - tortillas with omelette and salami. <br /><br />We then decided upon the day's plan, and received news from Mars Society that we can use the ATVs, as temporary registration has been issued. Mars may be far away from Earth, yet not far enough to escape Earth's bureaucracy! <br /><br />Iulia, Betty and Dragos then went on a very long EVA, one of the aims being to bestow Romanian names upon some unnamed "Martian" features. Today is a special day - as Romania acceded to the European Space Agency convention! (and it's also Buzz Aldrin's birthday - Happy Birthday, Buzz!). <br /><br />Meanwhile, the Captain (Virgil) got permission from the Mars Society engineering support to remove the old microphone system from the helmets - one down, five to go, and assisted Haritina in writing her recycling proposal to the Mars Society. <br /><br />After the away team returned from the EVA, Haritina started to cook a delicious meal out of dehydrated food, and some Romanian tortillas called "scovergi", prompting the crew to declare their endless love to her and the fire alarm to beep. As Iulia went to her room, she seemed to hear mice noises - hence the Captain recommends a cat-in-residence.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13546720356849170264noreply@blogger.com0Utah, USA39.3209801 -111.0937311000000133.0537476 -121.4208796 45.5882126 -100.76658260000002tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1010352084127447061.post-51495794886849221062011-01-21T03:45:00.000+02:002013-02-12T08:15:23.691+02:00Commander Check-in Report Day 06 RoMars2011<br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
The day begun very differently today, we encountered the first problems on Mars and the engineers immediately fixed them. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The grey water pipe near the hab had a leak and it looked like it had been dripping for days. The engineers used tape and strings to solve the problem. We discovered later that we shouldn't have fixed it without checking with Mission Support and assured them that this will not happen again. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
At Mission Control we still have some problems with the rover, we are not able to charge it and are looking for a fast solution. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
At the end of the day, the scientists went on the second EVA, this time with the commander as the photographer in charge.</div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
Commander's Report</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Virgiliu Pop Reporting</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
We all woke up at about 9 AM (we are late-risers, yet hard-workers), then we had breakfast - tortillas with peanut butter and jam (to Iulia's delight). </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Haritina's morning engineering round resulted in the discovery of a grey-water pipe leak, patched by her and Dragos. Mars is indeed hostile - the plumbing situation is in dire need of being fixed. Apart from being one crew member short, the permanent resident of the hab - (the) John is not cooperating. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Haritina then discovered a stowaway - or is it martian life? - a little mouse! </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Afterward we tried to fix the rover - it is not broken, but we have a power converting issue: 110 to 220 volts. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
At 3 AM, the science team started to prepare for the EVA, and took the commander along in his first EVA. Mars is beautiful, yet very tiring - one can be Captain Cook, yet one cannot be a cook and go on the EVA in the same day! This was discovered once the commander returned, very tired, and was unable to 'cook' food, having to violate mission protocol and prepare some dehydrated food. I wonder if previous crews encountered the same problem! </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
We did not eat as yet. We are all writing our reports. The engineers did their round and at 8 pm we'll eat. We may have an early night, apart from Haritina, whose love for the stars is far greater than her exhaustion.</div>
