Looks like they have completed the long awaited drive to the NE on 1962, path looks like a dogs leg, but the point to point may be around 50m. Still playing with ICE

I stitched a couple of MC100 pictures focusing on the foothills and outcrops on sol 1957 and 1959. Photos are taken at ~12h local time, so not a lot of contrast.
I also combined a recent RMI mosaic taken on sol 1961 with a MC100 picture to show the location of the outcrop that was imaged: -------------------- |

Great pictures, everybody - what an amazing place we are coming to! The next few years are going to be spectacular.

Gregory Dubos, who works at JPL on Curiosity, recently tweeted (@astroptere) that his team is currently preparing a new drilling attempt.

The 1965 mission update calls for a 360 MastCam mosaic, maybe to support that they have also acquired a NavCam set of the Rover deck Should be an impressive panorama from this vantage point.
There is also a nice candidate for another iron-nickel meteorite in the arm workspace, the team are going to be here for a while if the ground is suitable to attempt drilling, so maybe they will give it a zap to see if it is iron, I hope the coating on its topside is not dust, maybe wishful thinking that is a ferrous oxide, or maybe where is was in contact with a rock (if it was buried in the sediments) |

This is part of Paul's workspace mosaic (with a little patch), posted earlier, annotated with recent activities.

FYI (from Ashwin), the smaller pile (upper one in your view) is the sieved (fine-grained) sample, the larger pile the unsieved (coarse-grained) sample.

Suffering through a bit of an image diet here, but it looks like we had a successful drill on 1977. Here's a comparison of images 2 sols apart.
