After the drive (12:22:47 p.m. LMST) Cumberland is located straight in front of the rover, visible in this HazCam Left B image, taken sol 272 12:42:36 P.M. LMST according to your website http://curiosityrover.com/. Compare it with this Sol 269 HazCam Left B image. I'm close to agree with you, but might be they'll drive forward a little bit to reach Cumberland better, we'll see.
--- Here the first 11 of a sequence of Sol 271 ChemCam images I wanted to mention: ![]() Link to the animated GIF. The LIBS shots have taken place within a very narrow region. That's an observation type I didn't notice before, might be a new one, probably to get a more representative analysis result over a wider range of mineral grains. |
