Sol 589 Update On Curiosity From USGS Scientist Ken Herkenhoff: Soil Observations

Another successful drive on Sol 588, so another drive is planned for Sol 589 after Mastcam and ChemCam observations of a soil target named Chirup .


Another successful drive on Sol 588, so another drive is planned for Sol 589 after Mastcam and ChemCam observations of a soil target named Chirup . If the ~30-meter drive goes well, we should be in position to acquire lots of images of The Kimberley , the waypoint selected for thorough analysis using all of the instruments. Therefore, post-drive images are planned that will allow a big set of images to be accurately targeted.
