    Posted by jbridges in Mars Science Laboratory Blog on May 1, 2014 Here is a MastCam image of drilling in progress. This is the first ‘minidrill’ hole at Windjana.  You can see that Red Mars is only a very thin layer on the planet.

    Posted by jbridges in Mars Science Laboratory Blog on August 5, 2014 We are moving into a new sort of terrain as we enter Hidden Valley.  On this HiRISE image and the inset MAHLI image you can see the sand ripples that we are traversing.

    Posted by jbridges in Mars Science Laboratory Blog on January 14, 2015 We have started the drilling activities at Pahrump (Mojahave outcrop).  This MAHLI image shows that the initial minidrill attempt turned up some unweathered fine grained sediment.
