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?)

RMI mosaic of the drill site at Nontron on Sol 3057 (roughly stitched in MS-ICE)
The amount of 'backfill' in the hole is surprising? Maybe the wind? Hopefully there is enough viable sample in the sleeve for testing inside CheMin, SAM and the other instruments after dumping what's left (LIBs and APXS)

The Sol 3056 R-MastCam of Nontron (Hole30?) If they opt for a drill site selfie, this one probably has the best backdrop

And a sample test drop on the SAM covers on the same sol as drilling, looks like they are speeding the up the process

All recent updates talk only about ChemCam passive spectra so the laser must be off for a bit.

GIF - Sol 3058 - cropped L-Mastcam frames appears to show the port cover before and after sample drop (there's a small reduction in fines on the cover in the 'after' image)

Super panoramic clouds, Eli!
I wonder do Mars's cloud formations have a different, official terminology to that of Earth's (cirrus, cumulus...and the like)? On Wikipedia (unofficial?), someone edited Mars's cloud types to: Extremely high cirriform: Noctilucent clouds are known to form near the poles at altitudes similar to or higher than the same type of clouds over Earth. High cirriform: Thin scattered wispy cloud resembling cirrus through which the planet's surface can be seen. High stratocumuliform: Thin scattered wave-cloud resembling cirrocumulus. Low stratocumuliform: Wave-cloud resembling stratocumulus, especially as a polar cap cloud over the winter pole which is mostly composed of suspended frozen carbon dioxide. Surface-based: Morning fog of water and/or carbon dioxide commonly forms in low areas of the planet. John |
