Earth planning date: Wednesday, April 9, 2025
Our leadership of the two two plan was mostly successful, as we put about 22 meters from the “road” out of 30 meters expected. The driving driving stopped the drive a little when we tried to rotate in place but instead turned into a rock, which also had an effect that made our site very unstable for arm activities. oh well! APXS data shows the last terrain as greatly similar to the composition, so the team does not complain about trying again after another engine. In addition, it should give us to keep her arm slightly larger to play with the upcoming Sols (ongoing struggle for this winter Mars).
Recently, my job in MASTCAM was to make sure that our scientific photography is as simultaneously as possible with the required Rover activities. This strategy helps save Rover wake up time, also known as energy consumption. Today we have done a very good job in this, just increasing the total waking time by almost two minutes although we planned 52 pictures! Our filming today included a mosaic of the “Devil’s Gate” series including some of the nodal foundations and “Torote Bowl”, a mosaic of the nearby vein network called “Moonstone Beach”, and several sandstones surround the foundation blocks that we see here.
Chemcam plans to engage the vertical vein in our work space called “Jackrabbit Flat”, and RMI mosaics far from “Condor Peak” (a butte to the north we lose a vision). A driver will happen within 1400 hours on the first Seoul, and we hope that we will succeed with success 53 meters in this new valley on our way to the squares of the squares to the West! After driving, we include the “Autonaf Terrain Monitoring after Passing” and also known as potatoes-easy activity for the ground analysis of the Rover Mobility Map for our new terrain. In addition, we say potatoes a lot.
