Enterprise State Community College is joining forces with the Wiregrass Medical Center to expand their nursing program to Geneva. In addition to nursing, students will get hands-on training in emergency medical services. The $1.2 million grant will be used for small renovations to the instruction lab before welcoming their first group of students.

We've seen a marked decrease in water ice cloud activity in our Navcam sky movies over the last several weeks. We will now be drastically reducing the frequency in which we search for clouds and instead focus our attention on dust devils and storms. The atmosphere is beginning to get dustier, as seen by the hazy look of the northern rim in Gale Crater.

In the Sol 864 plan, we will be doing a very short drive toward our drilling target: "Mojave'quot;. Before the drive, ChemCam will analyze 5 locations in a line across a possible mineral vein in the rock, at a target called 'Harrisburg' This type of observation, called a 5-point raster, was quite common.

In the Sol 833-834 plan, we are planning to do three ChemCam "Z-stack's observations of the target. They are when the instrument collects data from the same location at several different focus positions.

We are planning 2 sols today to get a head start on the holiday weekend planning. We had several options, including contact science with or without brushing. The drill target cannot be finalized today, but the area to be brushed on Sol 1966 is likely to include the drill target.

Curiosity drove 52 m to the northeast to another patch of gray bedrock. This means that we need to do some SAM preconditioning today, which is a very power-hungry activity. It also means that there's not a lot of power for other science activities, but we did manage to squeeze in a few contact science activities.

Curiosity will conduct a ChemCam AEGIS activity and a longer version of a Navcam dust devil movie following the drive. It's important to also observe at other times of day to understand their frequency and patterns.

On the first sol of the weekend plan (Sol 1961), we have a nice long science block filled with a suite of ChemCam observations: LIBS measurements on bedrock targets. We'll take a Mastcam image to document the LIBS targets and an additional Mast cam image for change detection. On the second sol, Sol 1962, we set ourselves up for an exciting week of contact and remote science!

We're focusing our attention on small-scale features in the rocks in front of the rover to try and understand how they formed. The targets with "2' in their name are intended to be repeat observations of targets that we analyzed over the weekend to gather additional information.
