2055 MAHLI at Duluth, looks like some nice scratches in the surface from the brushing and a little reddish dust which may indicate the rock is not too hard, so drilling for a sample may be possible. There is also a mark in the middle of the DRT site that could be the impression from the drill pressing on the surface, it's got the characteristic shape of the cutting edge of the drill, but it could just be wishful thinking by me. Wishing the team at JPL good luck in the next day or so with FED & then FEST smile.gif

Edit: Additional images are now available, here is one of them from a lot closer, and I now believe the mark in the middle of the image is from the drill bit. I've rotated the raw image 180 degrees.

This is Jan's 2053 panorama in circular form - showing our location relative to the rock very nicely. Let's hope the drilling goes well.

Looking at the reddish powdered rock residues on the upper part of the sleeve on the drill, provides further confidence they were deep enough to have obtained a sample. Now we have to see how they are going to do FEST. Or if they have developed a procedure to try and use the feed mechanism (without the load used in drilling) to rewind the sample transfer tube towards CHIMERA. Going to be interesting to see, maybe we will find out in the next mission update? smile.gif

As I understand it, a tapping procedure is used with the repeated, low intensity impact vibration causing the material within the transfer tube to loosen and drop into the catchment.
