On Sol 685, the rover on Mars is expected to undergo a pre-drive science block and then embark on a 2.5-hour drive. During the pre-drive science block, the rover will conduct environmental monitoring using ChemCam passive spectroscopy to analyze atmospheric composition and Mastcam measurements of atmospheric dust opacity. The drive itself is predicted to cover approximately 60 meters as the rover navigates through loose sand before ascending onto the Zabriskie Plateau, named after a sandstone formation in Shoshone, California.
On Sol 686, tomorrow’s activities are limited as the team waits for data from the rover to arrive. Despite this, they are excited about the possibility of contact science and more driving over the weekend. However, it is crucial to keep in mind that planned rover activities are subject to change due to various factors such as the Martian environment, communication relays, and the rover’s status.
