Curiosity update: ‘Leaving Garden City’

Sols 939-941, March 27, 2015, update from USGS scientist Ken Herkenhoff: Ryan and I are working ChemCam tactical operations again today, planning 3 sols to get MSL through the upcoming weekend. We therefore focused on planning Sol 939 ChemCam observations of “Live Oak Canyon” [at right], “Idyllwild,” and “Blanco Mountain.” Mastcam images of these and other targets are also planned before 3 sets of MAHLI images of the wheels. Two more sets of MAHLI wheel images will be taken on Sol 940 before the rover drives south toward a rock dubbed “Kanosh.”  [More at link]
