Mars Rover Opportunity Takes on Rugged Terrain with Scientific Discoveries in Sight: A Journey Through Today’s Plan

Today’s plan for the Mars Rover Opportunity includes driving across the Naukluft Plateau. The rugged terrain requires careful planning of the course to ensure safe navigation. Data recovered from the missing MRO pass on Sol 1290 confirmed that the 23 meter drive went smoothly.

The scientific activities scheduled for today include using the ChemCam and Mastcam to observe and analyze the local bedrock. Additionally, the Mastcam will be used to create a mosaic to document the sedimentary structures in the area. There will also be observations to assess atmospheric opacity.

Following the drive, the team will conduct post-drive imaging to prepare for future targeting and potential contact science in the weekend plan. The team remains focused on gathering as much data as possible to further explore the Martian terrain.
