We have not received any data from sol 744 yet, so sol 745is a simple day of untargeted remote sensing.
We have not received any data from sol 744 yet, so sol 745
is a simple day of untargeted remote sensing. ChemCam has an observation of the
sky (with the laser off) to measure the gases in the atmosphere, and a "blind"
LIBS observation off to the right of the rover. Mastcam will take a context
image for the ChemCam blind observation so we can tell what we shot, and will
also make some "tau" observations of the sun to measure how much dust is in the
atmosphere. We will also do standard DAN and REMS environmental monitoring. 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.
