On Sol 1332, the latest drill hole on Mars was created and named “Okoruso”. The drilling activities went smoothly, and the focus of the weekend plan is to sieve the sample and deliver it to CheMin for analysis. The first step is to capture a ChemCam RMI image of the drill hole and Mastcam stereo imaging of the pre-sieve dump location. Afterward, the “Okoruso” drill sample will be transferred, sieved, and sent to CheMin for analysis overnight.
On Sol 1333, ChemCam and Mastcam observations will be conducted on the targets “Natas” and “Langental” to explore variations in chemistry within the stratigraphy. On Sol 1334, an early morning science block consisting of ChemCam, Navcam, and Mastcam observations will be held to monitor composition and opacity of the atmosphere while searching for clouds. In the afternoon, ChemCam will be used to study freshly broken rocks as well as drill tailings. Repeated atmospheric observations will also take place.
