The new crew awoke bright and early, and after breakfast and a short briefing, began to suit up for their first EVA. Because it would be their first sortie, I kept the plan conservative. Three crew members would do a two-hour pedestrian excursion on Hayes Ridge, to continue the general geological and paleontological survey of the area begun by Vladimir, Katy, and I in our first EVA a week ago. The EVA crew, consisting of Charles Frankel, Cathrine Frandsen, and Christine Jayarajah, would be led by Charles with Brent Bos serving as their capcom in the station.
