Interest in the dark and bright veins continues to
be high, so the Sol 937 plan is dominated by observations of these
features. But first, ChemCam and Mastcam will observe the unsieved
Telegraph Peak drill sample dump pile. Ryan is ChemCam
science uplink lead today, and I helped him plan ChemCam rasters on the
dump pile and the dark material just right of center in this image .
APXS and MAHLI will also continue the investigation of the vein
materials, including a new target named "Live Oak Canyon." On Sol 938,
ChemCam will measure 3 different
targets, then Mastcam will acquire a large mosaic of the ridge
southeast of the rover. 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.
