It took several HMP engineers to get the Mountain Hard Wear orange dome tent erected. One missing pole caused the confusion.	Sathya Hanagud (Georgia Tech) and Katia Clarens (Le Figaro Magazine) prepared a wonderful Indian dinner tonight.	We are all counting on lovable Kimik to save us from the unlikely event of a polar bear encounter.
JD Polk, MD (NASA JSC, Flight Surgeon, Lead for Heath Care Systems) gave a talk to us this evening on medical issues faced by astonauts on a spaceflight to Mars.	Pascal Lee (HMP Project Lead) thanks JD Polk, MD (NASA JSC) after his talk.	Prof. John Parnell (University of Aberdeen) gives an after dinner talk titled "Organic Signatures at Haughton".
The NASA HMP's Arthur Clarke Mars Greenhouse, sponsored by SpaceRef.com, currently hosts a research experiment led by Dr. Alain Berinstain (Canadian Space Agency/University of Guelph).	A view from the NASA HMP base camp of Pete Conrad Valley and the SETI Institute Hills in the distance.	The HMP's Comms (Exploration and Systems) tent where Dr. Steve Braham and Keith Davidson have their office, along with Dr. Brian Glass (NASA ARC) and the Hamilton Sundstrand engineers. In the foreground, framework for the future HMP Geosciences and Project Office tent.

Lettuce has already started growing in the HMP's Arthur Clarke Mars Greenhouse. The greenhouse will be monitored remotely from "Earth" after the summer field season by the team led by Dr. Alain Berinstain (Canadian Space Agency/University of Guelph).	The black sensor monitors the moisture level.
The grey sensor monitors the light level.	The batteries store power generated by the solar panels and wind powered generators, and excess energy is stored in this barrel of water. This warm water is then used to augment the propane heating system of the greenhouse.	These fans draw warm air out of the greenhouse for cooling purposes. Even though this is the High Arctic it is still necessary to have control over both heating and cooling of the greenhouse.
This is the main computer system for the HMP's Arthur Clarke Mars Greenhouse.	This is the Simon Fraser University antenna set up by Steve Braham that allows the HMP's Arthur Clarke Mars Greenhouse to communicate with "Earth".	Solar panels provide power to the HMP's Arthur Clarke Mars Greenhouse.
Two wind powered generators also provide power for the HMP's Arthur Clarke Mars Greenhouse.
