Sols 4266-4267: Satisfied 'Landiversary,' Inquisitiveness

.After the usual early morning schedule of performing some engineering house cleaning, Curiosity continues to take some remote control scientific research monitorings. Our experts take a ChemCam LIBS observation and a Mastcam photo of the "Peeler Pond" target, a darkened, nodular target that seems more erosion-resistant than surrounding stones. By reviewing Peeler Pond to "Kings Gulch" (which also has some blemishes), the scientific research team may have the ability to calculate even more regarding their loved one compositions. ChemCam also takes RMI photos of the Kings Canyon punch tailings. There is actually also a ChemCam RMI variety of Gediz Vallis and a Mastcam of the "Sky High Lake" target, which is a stone with a grey finishing. The final trait in this scientific research block is actually a picture down the CheMin inlet prior to our experts supply example to the instrument. After a long snooze, in the late mid-day we have the initial portion of a big Mastcam variety of "Breakthrough Height" stations down payments as well as we include some additional frameworks to our on-going 360-degree view. This overdue mid-day lights assists highlight layers and also appearances. Our team also have our usual DAN and also REMS reviews throughout the planning.
