Curiosity’s Two-Sol Plan: Exploring the Depths of Martian Veins in Garden City

The two-sol plan for Curiosity this week will focus on investigating the dark and light portions of the veins at “Garden City.” The rover will use its MAHLI and APXS instruments to analyze the veins and look for variations in chemistry using ChemCam and Mastcam observations. Additionally, Curiosity will conduct environmental monitoring activities to measure atmospheric composition and opacity, as well as search for dust devils.

Although the weekend plan did not go as planned, the images received so far suggest that the outcrop is complex and requires further exploration. The team is excited to delve deeper into the mysteries of Garden City and gain more insights into the geology of the area. With each new discovery, Curiosity continues to provide valuable data that enhances our understanding of the Martian landscape.
