The MSL activities planned for last weekend went well, except for a ChemCam instrument problem on Sol 300.
The MSL activities planned for last weekend went well, except for a ChemCam instrument problem on Sol 300. Fortunately, it's not serious and the Sol 301 plan includes ChemCam recovery sequences. If they go well we will be able to use ChemCam again on Sol 302. The Sol 301 plan includes another drive toward the "Point Lake" outcrop with more DAN (neutron spectrometer) active observations along the way.
