After the break over the holidays we are back analysing and driving. It is small drives so far. We will also be keeping an eye on the wear and tear of the wheels with MAHLI images in particular, driving a 1 tonne rover over sharp, hard rocks must have some effect over time.
This year we hope to get to Mt. Sharp, the observations on the way and at the destination should provide a fascinating year for Mars science.
