The Sol 24 plan is set to test software that will enable the rover to navigate obstacles automatically. If this goes smoothly, the rover will drive closer to our goal, Glenelg, which offers a unique view of three different terrain types for geological study. Autonomous navigation will be utilized for quicker progress. After the drive, time will be allocated for scientific observations, which were the main focus of the science team’s efforts. Despite minor issues with data volume from the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter, prioritizing data products is crucial for planning Sol 25. A lack of necessary images may result in a delay in reaching Glenelg.
The science team was relieved when confirmation of completion of Mastcam characterization data allowed for new observations to be planned. This required careful planning over the past week as the data had to be incorporated into the schedule. The team hopes to receive additional data via the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter to aid in planning future drives and scientific observations. Overall, the Sol 24 plan aims to advance towards Glenelg and conduct valuable scientific observations despite potential challenges.
