There won't be any MSL science planned this week
because the rover's software is being upgraded. I was scheduled as SOWG
Chair today and tomorrow
in case the software transition had to be aborted, but so far it is
going well so the science
operations personnel have been released. While I'm a bit disappointed
that we won't be planning new scientific observations and related
activities, I'm glad that the software transition is going well.
Dates of planned rover activities described in these reports are subject to change due to a variety of factors related to the Martian environment, communication relays and rover status.
