ChemCam targeted two rocks, “Quoy” and “Skor,” to compare their chemisties with the bedrock slabs in the SAM experiment. These rocks are similar to the larger rock fragments in the area. Additionally, ChemCam focused on a white patch called “Lealt,” resembling the white vein materials found in Gale crater.

The SAM experiment is a complex enough task that it requires a full sol in the plan, leaving the second sol open for other observations. Navcam will scan the skies for clouds and dust devils, as well as measure the dust load in the atmosphere during this time.

REMS, RAD, and DAN will continue monitoring the environment around and below the rover throughout the day, providing valuable data about any changes or patterns that may occur.
