Exploring the Fractured Landscape of Mars: A Day in the Life of a Scientific Expedition on the Red Planet

Today, our plan involves visiting CheMin and conducting remote science activities. We will begin by using Mastcam to capture a 53-frame stereo mosaic of the fractured intermediate unit to the southeast. This mosaic will not only document our surroundings but also aid in planning our driving path after completing drilling at Mary Anning.

Following Mastcam’s work, ChemCam will use its laser on the target “Bishop’s Palace” to observe small-scale layering and potential diagenetic features. Additionally, ChemCam will use its Remote Micro Imager (RMI) to create a long-distance mosaic of the “Maybole” target, a layered outcrop on a nearby hill. Overlapping frames between the RMI and Mastcam mosaics were intentionally planned to ensure consistent lighting conditions for comparison.

Later in the day, we will take a MARDI image to continue the change detection campaign at our current location. Atmospheric monitoring activities with Navcam are also included in the plan.
