Veni, vidi, … abibam (?)

#Perseverance left the regolith megaripples after spending a sol there. The image below shows some similar megaripples captured by #Ingenuity (just for kicks).

New location, Sol 1595, RMC 78.2172, after a ~200m long drive. The rover is still on a SE course in the middle of an almost featureless terrain.

Whether illuminated by daylight or artificial light, if those were on Earth, I'd swear they were lichens… But, IANAG™, and IANAB™ either.

#Perseverance sent a message for this #4thOfJuly:

"[…] it is the Right of the People […], it is their duty, to throw off such [Despotic] Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security." ¹

The Mars 2020 Science Team gathered for a week in June to discuss recent science results, synthesize earlier mission observations, and discuss future plans for continued exploration of Jezero’s crater rim.

#Perseverance is having a literal deja vu with an old abrasion.

I was AFK at the time, but… did they also try to core that rock? It certainly looks that way, but AFAICT it wasn't mentioned back then in April.

(For conspiracists:) Has the rover done other stealth operations like this? 🙃

When we say gDRT "puffed" a rock, this (video) is what we mean:

More on that, and on what #Perseverance was doing to rock Kenmore, in a new post by its team:

Notes:
• The name of the AutoNav software reappears alone in this post, where in some previous ones the shitty term "AI" had been used.
• The rover set a new record of autonomous driving (411m) on Sol 1540.

Black like charcoal

Either laser blasted (can't see the marks), or gDRT puffed, the recent abrasion seems to have the full attention of the #Perseverance team.

Hm… Maybe #Perseverance will get no sample from this coated rock, but by breaking it we can now see its interior, and that's rather bright.

An interesting little stone targeted by #Perseverance's telescope and laser. About 3cm in size and 1m horizontal distance from the foot of the SUPERCAM camera.

#NASA is now embarking on a significant initiative to streamline its social media presence.

This means that their public outreach program is going to get a lot worse; the previous "streamlining" under the #Biden administration, combined with budget cuts, had a negative impact on the #Mars2020 mission, leading to fewer, delayed, and less detailed posts, and to the abandonment of their #MarsWeather JSON feed, to name just a few.

So, yeah! Long live #spaceEconomy !

#Perseverance is getting ready to acquire another sample of Martian rock, this time one with that interesting purple-sh coating.

How do we know? Well, the laser blasted 'L' on its surface is the tell-tail; its asymmetry guarantees unambiguous orientation of a sample.
