.If you review this blog site extremely often, you understand that almost every time the rover picks up science, MAHLI and also APXS pay attention to appealing (and also accessible!) rocks as targets. The wanderer science staff is, it goes without saying, constructed along with a great deal of geologists. Yet geology is actually not all stones, all the time-- sand is actually previous stone that if laid to rest as well as pressurized enough time are going to end up being rock again. Today was actually opportunity for sand to radiate, as the work area was actually reduced by troughs of sand of various shades and also illuminations, as well as it had been almost 500 sols considering that our experts got our last specialized sand measurement with APXS and MAHLI. The "Pumice Apartment" aim at was among the more beautiful sand spots while "Kidney Pond" was just one of the darker sand patches. APXS makes use of a special positioning setting over sand targets so the tool gets close, however certainly not too close, to the loose material which could muck up the instrument. Not-rock was also the purview of our ecological reviews. Navcam is actually planned for imaging seeking out clouds and also dust evil ones, as well as changes in the sand as well as dust atop the wanderer deck. Each Navcam as well as Mastcam are going to help make commentaries to measure the volume of dust in the atmosphere. Rapid eye movements are going to keep an eye on our weather condition along with regular measurements, RAD will monitor our radiation environment, as well as DAN will scan stone for signs of water beneath our drive path.
