Some of the rock taken from inside the drill hole will be fed to the rover’s CheMin instrument on sol 2758. The X-ray diffraction patterns that CheMin acquires will tell us what minerals are present in the rock. That important data, in combination with Curiosity’s other instrument investigations, will help us untangle the complex history of how this outcrop formed.

ChemCam will be observing two targets on nodular bedrock, “Polwarth” and “Rob Roy Way”. A number of Mastcam images and mosaics are planned, including a large mosaic of a trough feature that continues the coverage from a mosaic in the previous plan.

Navcam will acquire some images over one the communication passes in the plan. The ability to use the engineering cameras over a pass means Curiosity can execute two activities - communicating and taking engineering images - in parallel rather than in series. This would leave more time and power for science observations or driving.

To kick off the science block, Mastcam will take a 53-frame stereo mosaic pointed at the fractured intermediate unit to the southeast. Next, ChemCam will shoot its laser at the target “Bishop’s Palace” which exposes some nice small-scale layering and possible diagenetic features.

despite the closest human geologist being over 186 million kilometers (115 million miles) away, our curious little robotic geologist has all the tools necessary to do a similar assessment on Mars. Since JPL decided to not send a good fashioned pencil and field notebook to Mars, we'll store our data in the onboard computer and then transmit it to Earth. That way those ever curious human geologists can "get their hands dirty'

Good Sports was officially launched on Friday at the former McColls convenience store in Great Yarmouth's Market Gates Shopping Centre. The idea is people donate unused or unwanted sports clothing or equipment which is then sold at low prices. Profits from the shop will help fund events across the community. Shop manager Karen Wright said there was a distinct need.
