Sol 3361: Keeping the Dog Leashed

by Scott Guzewich | Atmospheric Scientist - NASA/GSFC Greenbelt MD (SPX) Jan 20, 2022 SPX
Our initial plan was to conduct a MAHLI "dog's eye" imaging sequence on the beautiful Panari outcrop that we are parked before.

During a dog's eye sequence, the rover's arm walks the MAHLI camera along a feature near ground level, just how your martian canine (obviously named "Rover") would see it. But, we had to move that to tomorrow's plan due to a couple issues that need resolving first.

Instead, we planned a bevy of remote sensing science with ChemCam, Mastcam, and Navcam. ChemCam will target "Arabopo" (near the upper right in this Mastcam image) for LIBS and Mastcam will image the entire area around it.

Both ChemCam and Mastcam will also take additional images near the workspace on other bedrock blocks and also image "Mirador," the prominent peak directly ahead of us. ENV will monitor the decay of an early season martian dust storm with a Navcam dust devil movie and Mastcam tau observation.
