As part of our weekend plan, Curiosity will begin by analyzing several bedrock targets near the rover using ChemCam. We will then dedicate the following two sols to capturing stunning views from our current location.
To start, we will use Mastcam to take a multispectral observation of a target called “Ben Hee” close to the rover. Next, we will move on to taking larger Mastcam stereo mosaics to document the edge of the Greenheugh pediment and nearby sulfate unit buttes. Additionally, we will utilize the ChemCam Remote Micro Imager (RMI) to capture long-distance mosaics of interesting areas within the sulfate unit in the distance.
Looking ahead to early next week, we will complete our scientific observations at this spot and begin our journey to the next location.
