NASA\/JPL-Caltech Earth planning date: Wednesday, July 31, 2024 As Cat\u00a0mentioned on Monday, today\u2019s plan is a second attempt at our\u00a0Drill Sol 1 activities. We\u2019ve shifted the target on Kings Canyon a little bit, but the activities remain the same \u2014 a preload test to ensure that we\u2019re able to safely drill here, and contact science to get a preview of what composition we might be dealing with in this target. Around these pre-drilling activities, we still had some time left over for more typical science activities. Power wasn\u2019t as much of a concern as it will become as the drill campaign progresses, but we did have to do some rearranging due to timing constraints. There are some activities that need to go at particular times, whether that be for lighting, heating, or to coincide with other observations. If you put enough of these together, there can be a lot of swapping back and forth and moving things around to get the perfect position for everything. It\u2019s a bit like choreographing a big dance \u2014 activities have to come in at just the right time so they don\u2019t step on anyone\u2019s toes, and all the pieces come together to make a cohesive whole. In this metaphorical dance, our first movement is a short solo from ChemCam \u2014 just before the preload test we were able to squeeze in LIBS (laser spectroscopy) on a darker area of bedrock called \u201cBlacksmith Peak.\u201d The rest of the company joins ChemCam on the second sol. Mastcam comes in first to check out \u201cSam Mack Meadow,\u201d an area of crushed material, followed by a quartet of environmental activities \u2014 a suprahorizon cloud movie, a tau and line-of-sight to see how dusty the atmosphere is, and a dust devil movie. It\u2019s then back over to ChemCam, with LIBS on Kings Canyon and a long-distance observation of the yardang unit. Mastcam brings the dance to a close with their own documentation of Kings Canyon. For an encaore, Mastcam makes one last appearance later that evening to do a sky survey. Written by Alex Innanen, atmospheric scientist at York University"}
