Sols 4522-4524: Up on the Roof

  • On Sols 4520 and 4521, Curiosity faced communication issues but resumed activity on Sol 4522 with observations on a new target named 'Mesa Peak.'
  • The rover conducted various scientific tasks, including Mastcam mosaics, examining troughs, and using ChemCam on the 'Fan Palm' nodular rock.
  • Curiosity studied 'Hale Telescope,' a layered stone, reminiscent of the Palomar Observatory's 200-inch telescope, and deployed instruments like APXS and MAHLI for analysis.
  • Sol 4523 involved Mastcam mosaics, ChemCam laser spectroscopy, and driving near large rocks, followed by dust-devil surveys and imaging.
  • On Sol 4524, Curiosity focused on atmospheric analysis, conducting observations such as a super horizon cloud movie and ChemCam laser spectroscopy.
  • The plan for Sol 4525 includes morning-light mosaics, cloud observations, dust opacity studies, and potentially initiating contact science on new rocks.
