Sol 1428: Downlink limited

11 August 2016
MSL drove 11 meters on Sol 1427, and a longer drive is planned for Sol 1428.  I helped select ChemCam targets today; the number of possible science observations was constrained by the time available before the drive, so only one LIBS measurement is planned, on a bedrock target southeast of the rover named "Xangongo."  Mastcam will image this target as well, and measure the amount of dust in the atmosphere.  The amount of data we expect to receive in time for planning tomorrow is more limited than usual, so we are unlikely to receive enough post-drive data to plan both contact science and a drive this weekend.  The tactical team decided that driving has higher priority, so critical post-drive imaging is focused on supporting mobility planning.  Overnight, CheMin will perform another analysis of the Marimba drill sample, to improve the quality of mineralogical data.

Ulazak među MURRAY BUTTES:..sol 1428

Sols 1429-1431: Power limited

12 August 2016
MSL drove over 45 meters on Sol 1428, closer to the Murray Buttes.  I helped select ChemCam targets again this morning, and was glad to see that some of them made it into the weekend plan.  The primary constraint on planning today ended up being power--we tried to fit more into the plan than the rover's batteries could support!  But we were still able to include a lot of good activities into the plan, starting with a dust devil search, dust opacity measurements, and Mastcam stereo mosaics of the Murray Buttes on Sol 1429.  ChemCam will acquire LIBS data on bedrock targets "Matala," "Cazombo," and "Ondjiva" before the Right Mastcam takes a 7x3 mosaic that includes the ChemCam targets.  Overnight and into the early morning hours of Sol 1430, SAM will perform the first part of an experiment on the Mojave drill sample that has been stored in the instrument for several months.  The second part of the SAM experiment is planned for the next night, completing early on Sol 1431.  Finally, a drive is planned for Sol 1431, followed by acquisition of the data needed to plan another drive on Monday.  So, even though we had to remove some activities during planning, the rover will be very busy this weekend!

"gif" je...za skaliranje prostora.
Ne funkcionira najbolje u početku...malo strpljivosti dok se ne unese.
