The video link with Dr. Sargsyan overlapped with a link from Dr. Scott Dulchavsky from Henry Ford Hospital in Detroit so that he could update Dr. Dulchavsky on the medical situation. Dr. Dulchavsky then telementored Dr. Otto in removing Elaine's mock appendix, which was inside of a box of very realistic guts strapped to her belly. Elaine watched her mock-appendix being removed in real time, on a video feed from the surgical camera.
The twin otter flight was delayed until tomorrow. Perry Johnson-Green from the Canadian Space Agency was the only participant scheduled to fly. He has made arrangements to join tomorrow's flight.
Katsak Manik (from Resolute) and Ben Audlaluk (from Grise Fiord) got a radio call from Neil Banerjee (UWO) about a flat tire on their traverse and promptly went to fix it. Neil joked that he has a great ATV road service plan on Devon Island.
On a separate mission, Ben Audlaluk and Jesse Weaver (technician) repaired an ATV during Brian Glass' (NASA Ames) outing with his team, Sarah Thompson (NASA Ames), Sarah Huffman (NASA Ames), Shannon Statham (Georgia Tech), Joanna Cohen (Honeybee Robotics). They continued to set up equipment in the DAME tent. Joining their traverse was Elaine Walker (EPO, Mars Institute) and Steve Baird (UBC).
Darlene Lim (NASA Ames) went to Stanford Lake again, this time with Steve Baird (UBC). She got more photos of the area and completed her research for the season.
