Sol 2672: Continuing to Explore Hutton

The Curiosity rover is currently located at Hutton, where she successfully completed her 24th drill last week. Once it became clear that the drilling had performed as expected, we began to settle in for our stay here at Hutton; we have been here for 8 sols and we will be here for many more. Today marked “drill sol 4a,” which is characterized by a sample dropoff to CheMin and the first of two CheMin analyses. As we continue working our way slowly through the standard set of activities that accompany every drill campaign, we will also be taking advantage of this stop as an opportunity to collect additional data on targets of interest in the area.
