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?) ![]() |

Was it always planned for the rover to descend off the pediment back onto the clay unit or did I miss something?

Was it always planned for the rover to descend off the pediment back onto the clay unit or did I miss something? AFAIK this was always the plan, but I'm not sure if it was explicitly said or just somewhat implied in the status reports. See https://mars.nasa.gov/msl/mission-updates/8...diment-for-now/ and note the use of the phrase "mini campaign". -------------------- Disclaimer: This post is based on public information only.
