    Posted by jbridges in Mars Science Laboratory Blog on May 8, 2015 This Mastcam panorama shows our current location at Mt. Shields and our route on to Mt Sharp via Logan’s Pass.  We are planning contact science on the outcrops on the lower part of Mt. Shields.

    Posted by jbridges in Mars Science Laboratory Blog on July 30, 2015 We have started drilling at Belkin, first a minidrill hole before the main drill hole.  Belkin has been chosen because this sedimentary horizon  has some very high silica enrichments.

    Posted by jbridges in Mars Science Laboratory Blog on August 19, 2015 This fantastic new selfie has just been returned.  It is a mosaic of images from MAHLI taken over our recent drill site at Buckskin. Buckskin has turned out to be very silica rich and very hydrated.

    Posted by jbridges in Mars Science Laboratory Blog on September 12, 2015 We have a stunning new view of Mt Sharp and the channels running off it. As we drive into the canyons after the Bagnold dunes campaign, we will see high cliffs of sedimentary rocks surrounding us.

    Posted by jbridges in Mars Science Laboratory Blog on September 11, 2012 One of the activities in the next few sols we are looking forward to include using the video facility on MastCam to observe a transit of Phobos across the Sun.

    Posted by jbridges in Mars Science Laboratory Blog on September 1, 2014 We are in an uneven area of terrain with sand-filled hollows so we have changed direction, out of Hidden Valley and via Trilobite Crater.  The rover planners ‘RP’s’ are cautious about slippage in sand.

    Posted by jbridges in Mars Science Laboratory Blog on January 14, 2013 Another first for Curiosity’s instruments. We have deployed the brush (which is a rotating implement on the robotic arm) for the first time.

    Posted by jbridges in Mars Science Laboratory Blog on February 1, 2014 We have encountered a new sort of landscape, our first sand dune, at a locality we call Dingo Gap.  We will soon see a lot more of these in time as we traverse across to Mt. Sharp.

    Posted by jbridges in Mars Science Laboratory Blog on May 8, 2014 We have succesfully drilled Windjana and transferred the material to the CHIMRA system for CheMin analyses.  Now we will be able to anslyes the tailings by ChemCam and APXS.

    Posted by jbridges in Mars Science Laboratory Blog on December 13, 2015 The image shows a MAHLI close up image of the Bagnold dunes sand.  The first striking thing about the mm-size grains is how rounded they are.
