Sols 2749-2750: Preparing to Drill ‘Glasgow’

So today ChemCam, APXS, and Mastcam are measuring the composition of the drill target Glasgow, and MAHLI is taking images of this target before and after removing dust in order to document the rock surface prior to drilling. ChemCam will also target “Dalmellington Burns,” “George Square,” and “Large Island” for additional geochemical context of the drill area while Mastcam documents each of these targets with beautiful images. APXS will also look to the sky to measure atmospheric chemistry. Additionally, Mastcam will take a 360° mosaic, REMS, DAN, and RAD will provide remote sensing measurements of the atmospheric and subsurface environment, and Navcam will search for atmospheric dust, clouds and dust devils. That should be enough data to satisfy any geologist!
