    Posted by jbridges in Mars Science Laboratory Blog on February 9, 2015 Now that our first Pahrump drill is completed one of the things we do is check the CheMIn inlet (which is in the top right of the NavCam image) to check for any debris, blockages etc.

  • 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.

  • Thursday 23rd August Sol 17

    Posted by jbridges in Mars Science Laboratory Blog on August 23, 2012 The team has taken a break as Governor of California visits JPL to hear about MSL.  We also have the first wide angle images HazCam (Hazard Cameras at the front and back of Curiosity) to look at.

    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.

  • 1st February 2014 Sol 530

    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.

  • 8th May 2014 Sol 624

    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.

  • 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.

  • 22nd September 2015 Sol 1112

    Posted by jbridges in Mars Science Laboratory Blog on September 22, 2015 I have been Geo Science Theme Lead GSTL for the last two sol plan (sols 1112-1113). One of the main topics we have been discussing is where to drill next.
