We are continuing the Pahrump localities looped drive. MSL is not working full time over the holidays but we had a ‘3-sol’ plan on the 29th December. I was the Geo Science Theme Lead for the day. We aimed to follow up the dust removal team (DRT) on Santa ana outcrop with ChemCam analyses. Recently we have been taking numeous RMI images (‘z-stacks) in order to succesfully pinpoint our focus and gain our analyses, as a diode on the focusing laser isnt working as planned.
