Here is MAHLI’s selfie of Curiosity at work on the Hebron part of the Namib dune. Its a mosaic of 57 images. We have scuffed the sand with a rover wheel to get fresh surfaces for this weekend’s ChemCam analyses and MastCam images. Sand deposits are a great way of getting an average composition of Gale Crater.
