With the Greenhouse and DAME research efforts now complete, the focus at the HMP RS is now turning towards preparations for the third major activity of the season: a simulated medical rescue Extra Vehicular Activity (EVA).

Participants from NASA, CSA, Hamilton-Sundstrand, SFU, Mars Institute and several other organizations are busily readying communications systems, biomedical sensors, patient extraction hardware, prototype spacesuits and much more in order to execute a scripted scenario, which will take place on Monday. More details to follow soon.
