Sols 4266-4267: Happy ‘Landiversary,’ Curiosity
Earth planning date: Monday, Aug. 5, 2024 After the usual morning routine of doing some engineering housekeeping, Curiosity continues to take some remote science observations. We take a ChemCam LIBS observation and a Mastcam image of the Peeler Lake target, a dark, nodular target that appears to be more erosion-resistant than nearby rocks.
