Over the weekend, NASA's Mars rover Curiosity continued its march along the traverse, driving about 48 meters to the southwest past Texoli butte and Gould Mesa.
The two-sol plan includes contact science with observations on a nodule block named 'Matilija Poppy', as well as remote sensing activities to assess rock textures and stratigraphy in the vicinity.
Curiosity is set to drive further south and perform environmental monitoring observations on the second sol, looking for dust devils, monitoring atmospheric dust, and evaluating clouds.
The team is making good progress as they continue to explore and conduct scientific investigations on Mars.
