.After the typical early morning schedule of performing some design cleaning, Curiosity remains to take some remote scientific research reviews. We take a ChemCam LIBS review and a Mastcam photo of the "Peeler Lake" intended, a dark, nodular target that seems even more erosion-resistant than surrounding stones. By contrasting Peeler Lake to "Kings Canyon" (which additionally possesses some blemishes), the scientific research staff may manage to calculate even more concerning their family member make-ups. ChemCam additionally takes RMI photos of the Kings Gulch drill tailings. There is additionally a ChemCam RMI variety of Gediz Vallis as well as a Mastcam of the "Heavens High Pond" target, which is actually a rock with a grey coating. The last thing in this science block is actually a picture down the CheMin inlet before we deliver sample to the musical instrument. After a lengthy nap, in the overdue afternoon our team have the 1st portion of a big Mastcam mosaic of "Turning point Peak" channel deposits and also our team incorporate some even more frameworks to our ongoing 360-degree panorama. This overdue afternoon lighting helps highlight layers and appearances. We likewise have our usual DAN and REMS reviews throughout the planning.
