Rob Manning and I swopped emails last night - and we think it might make sense to pool all the questions people have about MSL (and specifically MSL's EDL ) into one thread - and then answer as many as make sense either via a Q'n'A in the style of the previous ones I've done with Steve and Jim - or via Rob's typing fingers.
It'll be a few weeks till we sort this out - but submit-away until then Doug |

I know it’s a little off topic but I have a quick question about something I saw on the animation post EDL. The animation shows a sample being loaded into, what I asume is, one of the sample holders in the Chemistry & Mineralogy X-Ray Diffraction (Chemin) instrument. From what I can see it looks like there is 24 or so separate sample holders and I was wondering if each holder only be used once and so limiting the number of samples analysed by Chemin.
Do the instruments within the Sample Analysis at Mars Instrument Suite (SAM) have similar limitations on the number of samples that can be studied? Just one last thing, why does Sam have two sample entry ports on the rover’s deck? Thanks |
