MARS: CURIOSITY u krateru GALE Vol II.

" Naukluft" Traverse...odlična interpolacija(i simulacija) prijevoza vozila preko stvarnog terena(nedavno prevožen!).

obzirom da sam ti onečistila temu, reci kicu da obriše sve nepotrebne moje postove, da ti očisti temu

Sve štima.Nema potrebe.

slab je taj rover busilica mu mala,samo 2 cm 

Veličina bušilice je optimalna. Određena je iz potrebe po transportu uzorka.
Veća im nije potrebna, manja ne bi bila efektivna. Vezano je i za el. energiju s kojom vozilo raspolaže kad vrta- cca 2 kWh.

pazi sta je mashina

Sol 1418: Preparing to drill Marimba

1 August 2016
Today’s plan was all about setting up for our next drill hole. Originally there was going to be no science block at all, but we ended up with a little bit more power than expected, so we managed to fit in a ChemCam observation of the expected drill target, called “Marimba” along with Mastcam documentation.  Once that was done, the rover dumped its sieved sample from our previous drill at “Oudam” and did some contact science on Marimba. This included MAHLI and APXS of the drill location before and after brushing the dust off, Mastcam inspection of various rover components, and the “pre-load” test where we make sure the rock can handle the pressure exerted by the drill. If all of that goes well, we should be able to drill later this week!

Tu i tamo navedem i autora. Ako se više puta ponavljaju kao, na pr., Phil Stooke, onda mislim da se prepoznaje njegov uradak.

Sol 1419: Cleaning CHIMRA

Tue, 02 Aug 2016

The drilling campaign on Marimba continues, dominating the Sol 1419 plan.  Again, the tactical operations team was able to squeeze some additional science activities into the plan:  ChemCam and Mastcam will observe a laminated bedrock exposure called "Namibe," and the Right Mastcam will image the two targets autonomously observed by ChemCam on Sol 1417.  Then the arm work resumes, with a brief interruption for a Mastcam stereo mosaic of Murray Buttes in the afternoon.  After CHIMRA is cleaned and inspected by the cameras, MAHLI will image the last of the previous drill sample and APXS placed on the dump pile for an overnight integration.  I'll be MAHLI/MARDI uplink lead tomorrow, so I dialed in to tactical operations meetings today to keep up to date.

Pokusno vratanje.
Boja neodoljivo potsjeća na boju uzorka kod vrtanja na lokaciji Confidence Hills (šire područje Parhump Hills - sol 765). tada se radilo , između ostalog, o mješavini hematita, filosilikata i fosfata. Što će reći da su stijene nastale u prisustvu vode.
Vidjet ćemo šta su stvarni  rezultatai ovdje...

Sols 1422-1424: It’s my party and I’ll drill if I want to…

5 August 2016


 
Happy birthday Curiosity!  As we celebrate four Earth years of operations on Mars, Curiosity will be busy collecting another drill sample.  In honor of her birthday, check out all of the great science that we’ve accomplished in the last year in this video.
Curiosity’s birthday party on Mars kicks off with another attempt to drill the “Marimba” mudstone target.  While this target might be harder than previous rocks that we’ve drilled, we’re optimistic that the drill will complete successfully.  I was the GSTL again today, and it was a fairly straightforward planning day. The first sol is focused on drilling and imaging the drill hole and tailings.  On the second sol we’ll acquire ChemCam RMI images of the drill hole so we can target it with ChemCam LIBS on Monday.  We’re also planning a Mastcam stereo image of the location that we’ll dump the pre-sieved material.  In the afternoon we’ll transfer the drill sample, sieve it, and drop off a portion to CheMin.  Then we’ll let CheMin analyze it overnight.  On the third sol we have a science block devoted to Mastcam multispectral imaging of the drill hole and tailings, along with a ChemCam automated targeting test, and Navcam atmospheric monitoring.  Later in the day we’ll acquire a few Mastcam images as part of a change detection activity.  
Sounds like a fun-filled weekend for our four-year-old rover.  Happy birthday Curiosity.  Have your mudstone and eat it too.
