Sol 1352: Scouting a path

25 May 2016
We'd like to keep driving toward the southwest, but can't see all of the terrain ahead from our current location.  So the Sol 1352 plan includes a short drive to give us a better view.  Before the rover moves, Mastcam will acquire a large stereo mosaic of the "Breckhorn" ridge in front of the vehicle and extend the left Mastcam mosaic of the "Fracture Town" area to the west.  ChemCam and Mastcam will also observe a rock called "Tsongoari."  After the drive, images are planned that will hopefully allow the tactical team to find a safe path ahead.  It was an easy day for me as MAHLI/MARDI uplink lead today, with only an end-of-drive MAHLI image and a MARDI twilight image.

Sols 1353-1354: Clear sailing

26 May 2016
The Sol 1352 post-drive imaging shows that, while there are sandy ripples ahead, there are enough rocky patches that the rover should not have any problem driving toward the southwest.  This is what we were hoping, so we are planning to drive in that direction on Sol 1353.  But first, Mastcam will acquire stereo mosaics of the Murray-Stimson contact and a couple areas toward the west with nodular features.  After the drive, ChemCam will again autonomously measure the chemistry of a target selected by the AEGIS software. 

To get a head start on planning for the Memorial Day holiday weekend, two sols are being planned today.  We expect to receive the Sol 1352 data needed for planning the rest of the weekend tomorrow morning.  The Sol 1353 activities cannot be precisely targeted, so Navcam will look for clouds and Mastcam will measure the amount of dust in the atmosphere at various times that sol.  In addition, ChemCam will perform a routine calibration activity.  Once again it was an easy day for me as MAHLI/MARDI uplink lead, with only the usual MARDI twilight image to plan.

Vau....prelazak je očigledno bio uspješan. Svaka čast ekipi!
