Our first image has come back after conjunction. Here is the Chemcam remote microimager (RMI) of our titanium calibration target. We use this target, of known composition, to calibrate our ChemCam elemental analyses. Analysing this is one of our routine activities. You can see the spots on it left by the near infrared laser.
