The third day is Monday, and we started daily routine including
simulations. Firstly, 4 crew members followed the instruction of Yoga
by a commander Melissa. Secondly, each crew member prepared each
breakfast. Thirdly, crew members filled in the form of agreement to
the human factor¹s Habitability Project after its explanation. Then,
the blood pressure measurement for the project to know each average
was done in the morning. We checked the goal of each project as well.
The mission on Mars simulation with reality performed in the afternoon
as EVA. Music of Star Trek was making nice mood for the departure. The
EVA about 2 hours and a half looked hard because of the problem with
Marsnaut suits. Volker and Matt cooked very good dinner with dried
diced beef and vegetable with tomato taste. Boiled rice and baked
bread were also good. We got to know each other better through the
self-introduction yesterday and activities today.
