Our experts take a ChemCam LIBS monitoring and a Mastcam photo of the "Peeler Lake" aim at, a dim, nodular target that seems more erosion-resistant than close-by stones. Through comparing Peeler Lake to "Kings Gulch" (which also has some nodules), the science group might manage to figure out additional regarding their relative make-ups. ChemCam also takes RMI photos of the Kings Canyon bore tailings. There is actually also a ChemCam RMI variety of Gediz Vallis and also a Mastcam of the "Heavens High Lake" aim at, which is actually a rock along with a grey layer. The last trait in this particular science block is a picture down the CheMin inlet just before our company provide example to the equipment. After a lengthy snooze, in the overdue mid-day our team have the very first aspect of a huge Mastcam variety of "Landmark Height" channel deposits and also our company include some more frameworks to our recurring 360-degree scenic view.
