Sol 534 Update On Curiosity From USGS Scientist Ken Herkenhoff: No Drive


The Sol 533 toe dip went well, leaving the rover's front wheels on the crest of the dune . The Sol 534 plan was to drive over dune into Dingo Gap, but late in the day it was cancelled. The Rover Drivers had some concerns about the terrain and it was decided that delay the drive to Sol 535 in order to give them more time to plan the drive.
