  • Wednesday 10th October Sol 64

    Posted by jbridges in Mars Science Laboratory Blog on October 11, 2012 The camera imaging, ChemCam analyses and scooping are continuing as the small plastic fragment identified to the side of the scoop area is not critical for the arm’s operation.

  • Wednesday 9th Jan. 2013 Sol 153

    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 2, 2013 The rover planners are testing the drill by touching 4 points around the chosen drill site and testing the drill action, but not with the full force that the final drill action will use.

  • February 4th 2013 Sol 178

    Posted by jbridges in Mars Science Laboratory Blog on February 4, 2013 Here is another Mahli image, of the first drilling hole at John Klein.  As we drill we learn more about the nature of the sedimentary material at Yellowknife Bay.

    Posted by jbridges in Mars Science Laboratory Blog on February 27, 2013 We now have material within Curiosity for the SAM mass spectrometer and the CheMin X-ray Diffraction.

  • 19th August 2014 Sol 724

    Posted by jbridges in Mars Science Laboratory Blog on August 19, 2014 We have started the condensed drilling procedures at Bonanza_King, having driven back out of Hidden Valley and its sandy deposits, to take another route.

  • 21st August 2014 Sol 726

    Posted by jbridges in Mars Science Laboratory Blog on August 21, 2014 As we were performing a minidrill – thats the smaller test hole prior to a large full drill hole – the prongs that keep the turret and drill steady slipped by a small amount..

  • 1st September 2014 Sol 736

    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.

  • 1st October 2014 Sol 767

    Posted by jbridges in Mars Science Laboratory Blog on October 1, 2014 This Left MastCam (‘M34’ because of the focal length) view shows the Pahrump drilled grains just before they are about to be sieved by closing up the scoop and sieve, then turning the whole robotic arm turret.
