Living on Mars, Part IIb




In these pictures, you can see my crew preparing for an EVA (Extra-Vehicular Activity), which is what we call it when we go outside in our simulation space suits. You can see some of the crew suiting up, and then one of us pointing out a patch on her helmet, and then the crew walking out of the Hab to the ATVs we use to get around.

We go on EVAs for several reasons, but usually for science. Our biologist and our GPS researcher both need to take samples or data out in the field, and so they go on EVA almost every day.
