Commander Report

Ondrej Doule

Crew 135 woke up to rainy day on Mars without electricity.

The power outage was caused by faulty generator. The problem was quickly resolved.

We had very effective day full of research activities inside and outside habitat accompanied by

crew reporters almost nonstop. All 7 experiments are now running, all crew members are collecting

data and working on preliminary results. We are smoothly collaborating with our crewmembers on the

orbit. We will be starting acoustic experiment this evening and compiling video footage from the

last days. Also, a compilation of the ongoing Google Glass experiment shall be completed by tonight.

We have extremely good cooks in our team - I am impressed how delicious dinner can be prepared

from dried and canned food.

Yes, we are effective team.
