Our ride is here!
|
Hamilton Sundstrand's spacesuit is in Resolute ready to go to Devon.
|
Our pilot loads the cargo.
|
And we're off!
|
We are on our way to Devon Island.
|
Camille Desportes de la Fosse (Institute of Science and Technology (IST), University of Paris) gives us a thumbs up. He is a graduate student in engineering geology and geophysics, and a Mars Institute summer graduate student intern.
|
Pascal Lee and Vicky Glass are chatting. John Parnell is sitting in front of me.
|
Camille Desportes leans over Samson Simeonie, Deputy Base Camp Manager for the NASA HMP, to point at the view.
|
Leaving the island of Resolute there is an interesting landscape.
|
The sea ice makes a fractal pattern.
|
I enjoy looking at the interesting patterns in the sea ice.
|
The landing gear in flight.
|
We see Devon Island in the distance.
|
Flying over Devon Island.
|
A curvy river flows accross Devon Island.
|
Beautiful "rock stripes" on hillslopes of Devon Island.
|
Haughton Crater in the distance.
|
The grey-ish hills are the famous breccia deposits of Haughton Crater.
|
Sekou Crawford (Stanford University/NASA Ames, Lead Test Engineer for Astrobionics) has set up his desk space in the office tent for the Autonomous Medical Care Initiative, which is a collaborative project between NASA Ames, NASA Glenn, and NASA Johnson Space Center.
|
ECG, pulse oxymetry, temperature, and blood pressure (and/or respiration) are displayed graphically on the screen.
|
The core module of the new NASA HMP base camp configuration (the HMP X-1 Station) is being built with lumber and supplies flown up to the Arctic c/o the U.S. Marines. It will have eight doors and sixteen windows.
|
This is the mess tent at the NASA HMP base camp where we also have our laptops set up with a wireless network.
|
JD Polk, MD (NASA JSC, Flight Surgeon, Lead for Heath Care Systems) and Sekou help me pitch my tent. We were told it was faulty but we don't yet see what is wrong.
|
We realize that the front zipper is broken. After partially fixing it, we decide it's best if I just use the back door of the tent, and we secure the front with string and rocks.
