Our plan for today includes visiting CheMin and incorporating remote science activities into our schedule. We will begin with Mastcam capturing a 53-frame stereo mosaic of the fractured intermediate unit to the southeast. This mosaic will not only document our surroundings but also aid in planning our driving path after completing drilling at Mary Anning.
Following Mastcam’s work, ChemCam will use its laser on the target “Bishop’s Palace” to observe small-scale layering and potential diagenetic features. Additionally, ChemCam will use its Remote Micro Imager (RMI) to create a long-distance mosaic of the “Maybole” target, a layered outcrop on a nearby hill. Overlapping frames between the RMI and Mastcam mosaics were intentionally planned to ensure consistent lighting conditions for comparison.
Towards the end of the science block, Mastcam will capture a documentation image of the ChemCam target Bishop’s Palace. Atmospheric monitoring activities with Navcam are also included in the plan. Later in the day, a MARDI image will be taken to continue the change detection campaign at our current location.
