Here is a MastCam image of drilling in progress. This is the first ‘minidrill’ hole at Windjana. You can see that Red Mars is only a very thin layer on the planet.
I am Geo Science Theme Lead for a couple of days. However, the science activities are taking second priority for a few days as we go through the different stages of drilling.
This blog is a record of my experiences and work during the Mars Science Laboratory mission, from the preparation, landing on August 5th 2012 Pacific Time, and onwards... I will also post updates about our other Mars work on meteorites, ExoMars and new missions. You can also follow the planetary science activities with @LeicsPlanets Professor John Bridges, School of Physics and Astronomy
