Our initial plan was to conduct a MAHLI "dog's eye" imaging sequence on the beautiful Panari outcrop that we are parked before. During a dog's eye sequence, the rover's arm walks the MAHLI camera along a feature near ground level, just how your martian canine (obviously named "Rover") would see it. But, we had to move that to tomorrow's plan due to a couple issues that need resolving first. Instead, we planned a bevy of remote sensing science with ChemCam, Mastcam, and Navcam. ChemCam will target "Arabopo" (near the upper right in this Mastcam image) for LIBS and Mastcam will image the entire area around it. Both ChemCam and Mastcam will also take additional images near the workspace on other bedrock blocks and also image "Mirador," the prominent peak directly ahead of us. ENV will monitor the decay of an early season martian dust storm with a Navcam dust devil movie and Mastcam tau observation.
Sols 3357-3360: Edging Closer and Closer to Panari Pasadena CA (JPL) Jan 19, 2022 We continue to document rocks similar to what we saw at "The Prow," a dark appearing rock outcrop with amazing sedimentary structures and details. To do this, we need to get as close as possible to an outcrop surface but that has called for some short multi-plan drives, as we manoeuvre to a new feature called "Panari" (a length of roughly 20 metres away from The Prow). In our last plan, we edged towards the inclined rock in the front right corner of the image, ending on some flatter rock a safe di ... read more
