Opportunity Mars Rover Continues its Exploration with Careful Planning and Driving on Sol 1290

Data recovered from the missing MRO pass on Sol 1290 confirmed that the 23 meter drive went smoothly. Today, the Mars Rover Opportunity’s plan includes continuing to drive across the Naukluft Plateau. The rugged terrain requires careful plotting of the course to ensure safe navigation.

Scientific activities scheduled for today include using the ChemCam and Mastcam to observe and analyze the local bedrock. Additionally, the Mastcam will be used to create a mosaic to document the sedimentary structures in the area. There will also be observations to assess atmospheric opacity.

After completing its drive, the team will conduct post-drive imaging to prepare for future targeting and potential contact science in the weekend plan. The team remains focused on gathering as much data as possible to further explore the Martian terrain.
