We have now reached Waypoint 2 – Cooperstown, 4 km from our starting point at Bradbury Landing. Our aim will be to do contact science, over the next few sols, with the robotoc arm, probably on the outcrop of flat-lying sedimentary rock you can see in this image. We will want to compare the results to what we saw at Bradbury landing, the Yellowknife Bay mudstones and the coarse sediments at the last Waypoint, Darwin. I am also interested to see if there will be any veining like we saw at Yellowknife Bay.
