The first “Mineral King” drill hole did not quite reach the target depth that we typically desire to ensure that we have enough sample in the drill stem to deliver to our internal CheMin and SAM instruments. The rover engineers selected a new potential drill spot on the same block, and this morning we got the results of the APXS, MAHLI and preload test. We are all hoping for a more successful outcome than for Mineral King2.

Purdue University School of Health Sciences senior Anthony Bovenschen shows the portable “gun” piece of X-ray fluorescence machinery in the lab of Jae Hong Park. The work relied heavily on x-ray technology to measure amounts of toxic metals in objects such as glass, cork and wine. This field-portable XRF machine is as versatile as it is invaluable for identifying substances hazardous to human health.
