.If you review this blogging site incredibly commonly, you know that almost each time the wanderer picks up science, MAHLI as well as APXS concentrate on fascinating (and also accessible!) stones as aim ats. The wanderer science crew is actually, it goes without saying, constructed along with a considerable amount of rock hounds. However geography is actually certainly not all rocks, continuously-- sand is actually previous rock that if laid to rest and also constrained enough time are going to become rock once again. Today was actually time for sand to sparkle, as the workspace was actually reduced through canals of sand of various colors and also illuminations, as well as it had actually been actually almost 500 sols given that our team got our final specialized sand dimension with APXS as well as MAHLI. The "Pumice Flat" target was among the more vibrant sand spots while "Kidney Lake" was one of the darker sand spots. APXS utilizes a special positioning mode over sand aim ats so the instrument obtains close, however certainly not too close, to the loosened product which can muck up the musical instrument. Not-rock was also the territory of our environmental observations. Navcam is actually planned for image resolution seeking out clouds as well as dust devils, and modifications in the sand and also dirt on top of the rover deck. Both Navcam and Mastcam will certainly create observations to evaluate the amount of dust in the ambience. REMS are going to monitor our climate with routine dimensions, RAD will definitely monitor our radiation setting, as well as DAN is going to check out rock for indications of water below our drive road.
