Sol 345: Update On Curiosity From USGS Scientist Ken Herkenhoff: Steady Progress

We were happy to see that the long drive planned for last weekend went well , but don't expect to drive so far every sol until more software capabilities are checked out and cleared for use.


We were happy to see that the long drive planned for last weekend went well , but don't expect to drive so far every sol until more software capabilities are checked out and cleared for use. I'm MAHLI/MARDI uplink lead today, planning single images after each drive that are becoming standard practice. Images and ChemCam measurements of nearby targets are also being planned as we make steady progress toward Aeolis Mons.
