The CRUX drill team: Dr Brian Glass (Senior Scientist, Drilling Automation, NASA Ames), Dr Sarah Thompson (NASA Ames), Shannon Statham (Georgia Tech, Ph.D. student) and Mateusz Szczesiak (Honeybee Robotics) packed up at Drill Hill after another great season and will be flying out tomorrow.

Dr Steve Hoffman (NASA JSC) is making steady progress in the field. Today he was assisted by Vicky Glass (Fire Captain / HMP safety officer).

Dr Valerie Meyers (NASA JSC) continued with her medical immunology research with the help of willing HMP participants.

Dr Perry Johnson-Green and Lauren Artman (both ecologists at CSA) had a good day collecting and analyzing more samples.

Ron Sidgreaves and Todd Glazier (both of Hamilton Sundstrand) finished with the last test subject, collecting feedback on the concept suit ports. They will be packing up this evening with the help of Jesse Weaver and Travis Oaks (camp technicians).

We had two very enjoyable lectures this evening, including the CRUX team who presented as a group, and the two men of Hamilton Sundstrand.
