Word today that the MMRTG has been installed on the rover, so seems like a good time to start the launch thread. Launch currently scheduled for 30 Jul, 2-hr window opening at 1150 GMT.
GO PERSEVERANCE!!! -------------------- A few will take this knowledge and use this power of a dream realized as a force for change, an impetus for further discovery to make less ancient dreams real.

Following on from that is a new paper in Space Science Reviews:
https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s11214-020-00739-x If you have access to it. It's a description of this map and the geology of the site. There is a supplementary file here (a c. 18 MB TIF file): https://static-content.springer.com/esm/art..._MOESM2_ESM.tif which I think is open access (correct me if I'm wrong), and this gives the names of the nearly 200 quadrangles used for mapping the site. I really wanted to have this for Curiosity, but it was never released, as far as I know. Phil -------------------- ... because the Solar System ain't gonna map itself.

Phil, wonderful stuff - does the paper provide a scale for this map, specifically the size of each of these quadrangles, also it would be good to know how to attribute it (I dont have access to the paper) TIA |
