FMARS 15 Commander notes – Sol 1

Weather: High cirrus cloud early, sunny. Winds light to variable early then building to gentle
through the afternoon. Temperature low to mid teens celsius.
The crew are ready to carry out EVAs in sim but the suits require some repairs, the life support
equipment needs servicing and the boots and gaiters some small amount of cleaning. Out of sim, we
needed to carry out a water run and a repair to the fuel line on one of the generators. During the
water run, it was observed that water levels had fallen significantly during the last five days but is
still flowing and silt free. Detailed reports follow.
