Sols 4266-4267: Happy 'Landiversary,' Curiosity

.After the normal early morning routine of carrying out some design home cleaning, Curiosity remains to take some remote science reviews. Our team take a ChemCam LIBS observation and also a Mastcam image of the "Peeler Pond" target, a darkened, nodular aim at that looks a lot more erosion-resistant than close-by stones. Through reviewing Peeler Pond to "Kings Canyon" (which additionally has some blemishes), the science staff might have the capacity to figure out more concerning their relative compositions. ChemCam also takes RMI pictures of the Kings Gulch drill tailings. There is actually additionally a ChemCam RMI mosaic of Gediz Vallis as well as a Mastcam of the "Skies High Pond" intended, which is actually a stone with a gray covering. The final factor in this particular science block is actually a graphic down the CheMin inlet just before we deliver example to the instrument. After a lengthy nap, in the late mid-day our company possess the initial part of a large Mastcam mosaic of "Milestone Height" stations deposits and our experts incorporate some more structures to our continuous 360-degree scenic view. This late afternoon illumination helps highlight coatings and also textures. Our team likewise have our ordinary DAN and also REMS monitorings throughout the plan.
