After significant churn in Monday’s planning, today turned out to be a single sol’s worth of untargeted science. That left GEO with only a ChemCam AEGIS activity, where ChemCam automatically identifies and targets an interesting rock near the rover by itself. ENV than planned a bonanza of atmospheric monitoring activities, as we had power to spare.

This included 7 dust devil movies with 4 different cameras: Mastcam, Navcam, and the front and rear Hazcams. This image shows the broad viewshed we have to the north from our current location on the Greenheugh Pediment, which provides good opportunities for dust devil searches. Let’s hope Mars accommodates tomorrow!

ENV also planned a ChemCam passive sky to study the abundances of atmospheric gases, a Mastcam sky survey to study the properties of airborne dust particles, and early morning Navcam cloud movies. Needless to say, such a bumper crop of atmospheric image sequences in a single plan is unusual and maybe unprecedented!

Sols 3403-3404: Tiptoe to the Pediment

Pasadena CA (JPL) Mar 07, 2022


The terrain continues to challenge us as we make our way up onto the Greenheugh pediment. Monday’s drive ended sooner than expected when the rover sensed the road was rockier than anticipated, so it paused to wait for further instructions from Earth. In the mean time, we took advantage of this brief pause to ‘sniff’ the rock field all around us.

First, we took ChemCam and Mastcam of “Tobar Mhoire” and “Ardalanish,” both points on a gray-toned rock with laminations. Farther afield, the rover will c … read more
