QUOTE (Phil Stooke @ Feb 28 2018, 03:40 AM)  Suffering through a bit of an image diet here.... Good eyes as always Phil  Looks like the drought may have been eased, with the arrival of 100+ L-MastCam full frames from the 360 pan acquired on sol 1965, although I would rather have got the NavCams from the recent pre-FED & FED activities. But we did get a bonus in a sol 1971 RMI of what appears to be (to my amateur eyes) suspiciously like another iron meteorite candidate in the current workspace The 360 pan frames are all Bayer encoded, so I cant do them any justice, hopefully the image wizards here will be able to use those and the NavCam Deck images to make another masterpiece

High five to the whole team! The drought is (almost) over!
Only step 1, though, as this press release explains. https://www.jpl.nasa.gov/news/news.php?feature=7070 |

Going to try drilling again, need to be deeper to obtain a sample, but first the DRT and APXS will assess the new target (Lake Orcadie 2) roughly 7 inches to the right of the first hole. Link

Three of the recent ChemCam targets from sols 1980 & 1981.
A lovely looking vein (calcium sulfate?) A revisit to 'Black Cuillin' and yet another candidate iron meteorite (judging by the bright laser spots)... (mosaics assembled in MS ICE) I think I may need to make a list of these candidates

Felt compelled to make the GIF (looks like a little movement in the sand grains below the target)

There was another sequence on 1980 looking at a crater out in the plains to the north: http://mars.jpl.nasa.gov/msl-raw-images/pr...CCAM04980L1.PNG I haven't found the exact spot but it should be in this frame: http://mars.jpl.nasa.gov/msl-raw-images/pr...NCAM00297M_.JPG |

QUOTE (fredk @ Mar 5 2018, 01:58 AM) Thanks for the mosaic. There was another sequence on 1980 looking at a crater out in the plains to the north: I believe it is the 'Crater on Peace Vallis Fan' identified on Photojournal PIA22208 Link and Photojournal PIA22210 Link (see fig1) MS ICE did not want to work for me with those images, but Neville Thompson assembled it and published it on Gigapan Link. The acquisition of the long-distance images of the 'Peace Vallis fan' was also mentioned in the Mission Update for sol 1980 Link |

Sol 1982... looks like the drill happened. To my eyes it looks like it made only a small ring of tailings, suggesting only a small drill hole, possibly stopped early.

Edit: I found more images of the 1982 attempt, times appear similar, maybe they were going to drill for longer this time? Better luck next time... 'Third time's always a charm'
