The Hamilton Sundstrand team, Ron Sidgreaves and Todd Glazier, had another day of extensive testing of their new concept suit ports on the Mars-1 Humvee Rover. Several more very willing HMP participants lent themselves as suit port subjects.
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) succeeded in their goals of detecting potential failure modes and taking corrective action. The team also succeeded in imaging the bore hole.
Dr Stephen Braham (Chief Field Engineer and Associate Director, HMP / SFU) has completed the setup of the dishes and got the C-band online, which will be tested with NASA Ames tomorrow.
Dr Steve Hoffman (NASA JSC) had a good day out in the field taking slope measurements until the fog and rain moved in.
Dr Perry Johnson-Green (plant ecologist, CSA) and Lauren Artman (general ecologist, CSA) had a great day collecting samples for their research and look forward to another full day tomorrow.
