HMP Research Station | Haughton-Mars Project: HMP Research Station Status Report

There were two traverses today. Perry Johnson-Green (CSA) traversed to the area around the weather station with Jesse Weaver (technician). Gordon "Oz" Osinski (University of Western Ontario) lead a traverse to Lake Orbiter with Tim Barfoot (PI, University of Toronto), Paul Furgale (University of Toronto), Tim Haltigin (PI, McGill University), Nadeem Ghafoor (MDA Space Missions), Kevin Williams (Buffalo State University), and three students from the University of Western Ontario. They all reported that their traverses went well. They got rained on when they arrived at their location, but were prepared with tarps and rain gear. The cooling trend has begun!

It was a big day for Nick Wilkinson (Project Manager), who was the pretend patient in a mock trauma scenario conducted by the medical team this afternoon. Vancouver General Hospital instructed the team in the medical procedures for the mock trauma scenario via video conferencing. The team is led by Dr. Jean-Marc Comtois (Head, Operational Space Medicine, CSA) in addition to Dr. Azhar Rafiq (Virginia Commonwealth University) and Ekatrina Tchistiakova, a medical physics coop student with McMaster University. It was a successful scenario and there were some valuable lessons learned. This evening after dinner Nick also did a presentation on his traverse planning software.
