Sol 2695: Just a short drive / climb, but a very welcome one to get all 6 wheels off the slope and onto the top of the pediment
Roughly stitched L-NavCam partial pan using MS-ICE with the available images. I'm sure the full 360 will be memorable... BTW: maybe a good time for a new thread? (Traversing the Greenheugh Pediment?) |

This is caprock so it might be hard to drill. I hope we get one!

This is caprock so it might be hard to drill. I hope we get one! It would be nice to see them drill / sample one of those darker (capping) rocks, but because of the Feed Extended Drilling) they would need to find a really stable candidate... However, the first potential drill site candidate appears to be in the lighter toned bedrocks seen in the arm workspace on sol 2700. Attached is a mosaic of the L-MastCam images of that workspace, I believe the candidate is the Trapezoid shaped block in the upper right of the mosaic. |
