CGC#00705 – December 5, 2046, Distance (AU) ~45,4 AU

• Mission Objectives on Makemake:

1. Scientific Exploration: The primary objective was to conduct a comprehensive scientific exploration of Makemake. This involved geological, atmospheric, and possibly biological studies to better understand the dwarf planet’s composition, structure, and potential for harboring life or precursors to life.
2. Sample Collection: Collecting samples of the surface and atmosphere was crucial for detailed analysis aboard the CGC. This would help in understanding the chemical and physical properties of Makemake.
3. Cultural Respect: Echo, in respect to the cultural significance of the name “Makemake” (named after the creation deity of the Rapa Nui people of Easter Island), transformed into a Moai statue with green eyes for the mission. This transformation was to pay homage to the cultural heritage associated with the name.
4. Assessment of Potential for Future Missions: Part of the mission’s purpose was to assess the feasibility of future missions to Makemake, whether for further scientific research or potential resource utilization.

Activities on Makemake:

1. Landing and Deployment: The mission involved a safe landing on Makemake’s surface, with the crew including Sahabat as the navigator, JRbw, JHR, Echo and Monty.
2. Exploration and Data Collection: The team conducted on-site exploration, using a variety of instruments to gather data on Makemake’s geology, atmosphere, and potential signs of cryo-volcanism.
3. Sample Analysis: JHR, as the chemical and hazardous materials expert, took the lead in collecting and analyzing samples, especially focusing on identifying any signs of radioactivity that could explain cryo-volcanic activity observed on Makemake.
4. Cultural Aspect: Echo, in her Moai form, added a unique cultural dimension to the mission, symbolizing the integration of cultural respect in space exploration.
