ChemCam, Navcam and Rover Dust Monitoring in Mars: A Day in the Life of SAM Experiment

The SAM experiment is a complex task that requires a full sol in the plan, leaving the second sol open for other observations. ChemCam targeted two rocks, “Quoy” and “Skor,” which are similar to the larger rock fragments in the area, to compare their chemistries with the bedrock slabs. Additionally, ChemCam focused on a white patch called “Lealt,” resembling the white vein materials found in Gale crater.

Navcam will scan the skies for clouds and dust devils, as well as measure the dust load in the atmosphere. REMS, RAD, and DAN will continue monitoring the environment around and below the rover throughout the day.
