I challenge you not to look at this and make a ping/spring/boing happy sort of a noise.

Do you know which TEGA ovens are full and with which samples? I really want to know the last sample deliveries! are we going to have an ice sample delivery? WHEN? Did they succeed with the WCL-3 try to push the sample into the cell?

I don't think they've announced the results of assisting soil into MECA WCL 3. I'm not sure, but I think the clog is shown before and after in robotic arm images from sol 147 raw images. It shows a mound that appears to to have been mashed. I haven't compared the scenery, or metadata, to see if it's near MECA WCL 3, nor have I examined the image to see parts of the MECA.

My scorecard for used ovens, at the end of September, is above. I'm pretty sure ovens 4, 5, 0, 7, and lately 6 have been announced to be filled.

Oven 3 still appears unopened.

Oven 2 had an organic-free blank delivery attempt during a windy time and probably little to no matter entered; I saw no announcement of success.

Oven 1 had at least 2 icy soil attempts, one missed, one clumped; I saw no announcement of success.

According to a recent press release (Phoenix Lander Finishes Soil Delivery to Onboard Labs), they are through attempting sample deliveries to anything.

A Mid-October press release (Phoenix Gets Bonus Soil Sample) said 6 of 8 ovens have been used, but doesn't specify which, or exactly what 'used' means -- attempted, delivered to, succesfully?
