Sol 888 activities are limited by the need to recharge the batteries,
but we were able to plan a full suite of MAHLI
images of the dump pile and place APXS on it for an overnight
integration. With very few additional activities in the plan, it has
been a relatively easy day for me as SOWG Chair. by Ken Herkenhoff
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.
