Our journey towards “Pink Cliffs” is going smoothly, and for Sol 864, we have planned a short drive known as a “bump” towards our drilling target called “Mojave”. Before the drive, we will be using the ChemCam instrument to analyze five locations in a line across a possible mineral vein in the rock at a target called “Harrisburg”. This type of observation, referred to as a “raster”, was common before ChemCam experienced focusing problems.
Despite the focusing issue, ChemCam is still collecting images and spectra at multiple focus positions per point to ensure quality data is obtained. This will be the first time conducting a 5-point raster since the focusing laser stopped working. We hope that this analysis will provide us with valuable insights into the minerals present in the rock at Harrisburg.
