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.

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.

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.
