Sols 4311–4313: A Weekend of Engineering Curiosity
Earth planning date: Friday, Sept. 20, 2024 Today, we planned for 3 sols over the weekend. On Sol 4311, we have a lot of science activities planned, including some ChemCam and Mastcam observations of the Obelisk target. These activities will allow our instruments to gather data about rock features of interest within the rover workspace, . https://science.nasa.gov/b...#nasa #space #news #nasa_general #nasa_blogs #nasa_nasa_headquarters #nasa_get_involved #nasa_partner_with_us #nasa_astrophysics #nasa_citizen_science #nasa_astronauts #nasa_humans_in_space #nasa_iss_research #nasa_johnson_space_center #nasa_tracy_caldwell_dyson #nasa_aeronautics #nasa_learning_resources #nasa_nasa_history #nasa_people_of_nasa #nasa_women_at_nasa #nasa_aqua #nasa_earth #nasa_earth 's_atmosphere #nasa_terra
