Following OTS-3 / OFFERING

OFFERING - the EVA nobody has fully explained, into a cargo bay falling through atmosphere

Huddin Kerman performed an EVA during OTS-3 into a shuttle cargo bay that was descending through atmosphere. NASA called it "mission-necessary." The Herald is asking what mission necessitated it.

During OTS-3 - mission designation OFFERING - Huddin Kerman performed an extravehicular activity into a shuttle cargo bay that was descending through Kerbin atmosphere. The Herald has been unable to obtain the full footage. NASA has described the EVA as "mission-necessary" and has declined to specify the mission necessity.

This is the program's third EVA. The first was Valentina Kerman's inspection of the Basic Station airlock. The second was Huddin Kerman's deployment of the RESTLESS solar arrays. The third was this - an engineer stepping into a cargo bay during atmospheric descent. The Herald does not have enough information to assess the risk profile. We have enough information to say it was high.

Huddin Kerman is currently aboard HESTIA, in Duna orbit. She is beyond follow-up. The Herald has submitted a records request for the OFFERING EVA and expects a response after the crew returns, which is not soon.
