Touchdown complete. Habitat is being set up. Water system is working fine and plants see happy. We have to be careful to check the cricket vivarium temperature as they require a constant of around 30 degrees C.

We have already met some of our new neighbors on MARS!platz and are testing the communication equipment.

A simple dinner of hard bread with spreads was well received. So far the Curry Mango is a favorite.

The communication hour is very active and the intercom is working well. We are going through the online messages now too.

Workout session in the afternoon: we all take turn on the bike to test for the next days and adjust, but also to keep us warm because the temperature is dropping fast in the habitat.

Wellbeing activity in the evening: None... The grasshopers kept us busy tonight. We had herbal team and cereal bars still while continuing our duties. Commander's step count did not start.

It has been difficult to monitor the temperature of the grasshopers, we are a bit concern for the night. We cooked some water (bike - this is VERY long to get the boiler boil water, about 45min so we have to better anticipate) and prepared herbal tea for the night as our commander is sick since the landing.

21:30 >> The situation with the grasshopers is complicated, we are having difficulties maintaining the temperature over 26. The temperature in the habitat is dramatically dropping. We put a survival blanket around the terrarium in hope to stabilize around 26.

21:54 >> The terrarium is now stable at 26, with the lamp (without light) very close to the terrarium + survival blanket around it.

not that easy to keep the cricket's temperature on an approriate level. this will be especially important for the night time. we will see

kids are asking very nice questions. they are really curious - which is pretty cool!

I think we need a mediator for the communication hour to active the people to ask questions. people are very curious but it could be of advantage if questions would be more focused

getting pretty cold in the evening. proper clothing highly recommended!
