Earth planning date: Friday, Sept. 20, 2024
Today, we planned for 3 sols over the weekend. On Sol 4311, we have a lot of science activities planned, including some ChemCam and Mastcam observations of the "Obelisk" target. These activities will allow our instruments to gather data about rock features of interest within the rover workspace, including a LIBS analysis which will give us more insight into chemical composition. We will also take some landscape images of the ridges within the upper Gediz Vallis channel.
