Bye bye, Tisdale. It's time to move on.
Next target? Philosilicates. ----- Edited on Sep 16 2011. This thread is dedicated to the exploration of Cape York, starting on sol 2703 when Opportunity left the "rocky garden" and started moving towards Chester Lake. |

Some comments on Chester Lake (and a false colour (?!) pancam view) here. "Paraphrased" from Squyres:
QUOTE The new target should be IDD'd... it looks bright and Noachian itself... Need to build a nice story here and relate it to the Tisdales... We think there might be a coating, so we'll have to choose a target carefully and at least APXS it... Consider RAT'ing it to get into its guts... I wonder what about it "looks Noachian"...
It is something entirely new, or SOS ("Same Old Sulfates")? This is our first major Noachian target, so let's make it count. |

The EOSs and SOWG meetings are particularly cryptic these days; these guys talk and head and shoulders above my comprehension! -m |
