We are settled into a daily routine which centres around the data returns from Mars Odyssey and Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter. We have a science kick off where different theme groups (Mineralogy, Environment, Geology) discuss the results and think about the priorities for the next uplink of commands. Later in the day there is a Science working group meeting to decide on the final plan for the sol’s uplink. We end the day (currently at about 11 pm) with a broad ranging Science Discussion.
